Sacramento Sustainability Action Group
Connecting Sacramento's Sustainability Movement
This page came from the desire to harness some of the energy raised at the Sacramento Sustainability Symposium May 2008. This page is a tool for organizing future sustainability-related events. We subsequently are part of the Rising Tide North America network, which works to confront the root causes of climate change.

Where PILN works
Micronesia, Polynesia, Melanesia and Hawai'i
Threat
Invasive plants and animals can disrupt natural cycles, crowd out native species, and cause billions of dollars in damage.
Strategy
The Pacific Island Invasives Learning Network will build the skills of multi-agency teams in the Pacific to address the threats posed by invasive species.
Mission
To empower effective invasive species management through a participant-driven network that meets priority needs, rapidly shares skills and resources, provides links to technical expertise, increases information exchange, and accelerates on-the-ground action.
Goals
- PILN team members strengthen essential technical, organizational, collaborative and policy skills to advance invasive species management in the Pacific Islands.
- PILN teams demonstrate on-the-ground action against invasive alien species and rapidly share their experiences, skills and resources.
- PILN team members work cooperatively on high priority local and national invasive species issues.
- PILN teams collaborate in addressing at least one critical regional invasive issue or opportunity.
