Alia Investment Gifts Yamaha Engine to Environment Ministry

Alia Investment has generously donated a Yamaha 150 horsepower engine to the Biosphere Reserve under the Ministry of Environment. This significant contribution was made during a ceremony held at the Environment Ministry, where Alia Managing Director Alau Ali handed over the engine to Environment Minister Thoriq Ibrahim.
During the ceremony, Minister Thoriq Ibrahim congratulated Alia on its 60th anniversary, praising the company for its long-standing commitment to business in the Maldives. He expressed gratitude for Alia's initiative, noting that this is the first and most valuable gift received by the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy from a private company. "Today marks the beginning of a strong relationship between Alia and the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy. I hope it will be mutually beneficial," Minister Thoriq stated.
The engine will support the efforts to maintain and manage the Baa Atoll, a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Baa Atoll is recognized for its rich and unique natural resources and species. Studies conducted by UNESCO have highlighted the atoll’s biodiversity, emphasizing the importance of sustainable management. The Ministry of Environment oversees the conservation and sustainable use of these resources.
Alia Investment’s donation is expected to play a crucial role in the maintenance and preservation of the biosphere reserve. The new Yamaha engine will aid in various activities, including patrolling the reserve, conducting research, and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources.
This donation coincides with two significant milestones for Alia Investment. The company is celebrating its 60th anniversary, marking six decades of innovation and leadership in the Maldives' transportation industry. Additionally, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of Yamaha outboard engines to the Maldives, a venture pioneered by Alia. The company has been providing high-quality after-sales service for these engines, ensuring their continued reliability and performance.
Alia Investment has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing the transportation industry in the Maldives. Over the years, the company has introduced various advancements, improving connectivity and transportation efficiency across the islands. The donation of the Yamaha engine is a testament to Alia's ongoing commitment to social responsibility and environmental conservation.
The Yamaha 150 horsepower engine is expected to enhance the capabilities of the Ministry of Environment’s team, allowing them to better manage and protect the biosphere reserve. This partnership between Alia and the Ministry is seen as a promising step towards more collaborative efforts in environmental conservation.
In summary, Alia Investment's donation of the Yamaha engine is a significant contribution to the Ministry of Environment's efforts to maintain the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve. This gesture not only underscores Alia's commitment to environmental sustainability but also marks the beginning of a promising partnership aimed at preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Maldives.
