Woolworths invests annually in WWF-SA�s Water Balance project, which aims to protect some of South Africa�s most important water source areas through the removal of alien (invasive) vegetation that is estimated to capture up to 7% of South Africa�s already scarce water resources. With funding from Woolworths, an alien clearing coordinator was appointed to manage this project and work in partnership with farmers, government agencies, and water-use associations. The coordinator managed to secure an additional R8.3 million from the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) Natural Resources Management (NRM). Additional funds of US$300,000 were raised via other donor sources to aid in the expansion of the alien clearing programme.
