[PCA] Water Fund to Remove Invasives & Restoring Native Plants in Cape Town

[Lisa Feldkamp]

Hi PCA & APWG,

I thought you would all be interested in this story of a new water fund in Cape Town, South Africa that has among its goals removing invasive plants (that are draining the regions water resources & increasing fire frequency) and to protect the region’s botanical diversity (3% of the world’s plant life): https://blog.nature.org/science/2017/08/02/can-conservation-provide-water-for-cape-town-in-a-time-of-drought/

Thank you!

Cheers,
Lisa
