The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission Director Lawrence Hardy II visited Palawan this week to meet with development partners and reinforce the US government’s commitment to the province’s sustainable growth. To celebrate World Wildlife Day, Hardy kicked off his trip with a visit to the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center, where he initiated the release of rescued animals, including a critically endangered forest turtle.
