The goal ofthe day’s initiative is to clean up and clear the blocked canal in Phonsavanh (North) village from invasive water hyacinth.
All participants – along with the head of the village office and residents of Phonsavanh who join the clean-up – will also be taught about the importance of conserving and protecting Laos’s Biodiversity, including the issues surrounding invasive species, how to manage them in an environmentally friendly way, and why we must work together to achieve these goals.
