Invasive plants

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.

collaborate in addressing at least one critical regional invasive
issue or opportunity.
