Alicorp's donation to the 2024 Green Gala will translate into an economic contribution to the conservation of the Harpy Eagle, an emblematic species that has its habitat in the Amboró National Park and Integrated Management Natural Area. This protected area of Bolivia is one of the reserves with the greatest diversity in the world since 3 different ecosystems converge in its territory.
