organized to promote community improvement, ecosystem
integrity, education, awareness, scientific, and
charitable functions related to sustainable
development. Guided by
its vision SN
encourages society to collectively embrace the environmental,
cultural, and economic significance of “Salmon
Nation,”
In

SN directs its work to support communities

Bioregion, and beyond, to define their core

Sustainability
Now! exists to promote rapid improvement
in a community’s socio-economic and environmental
well-being by advancing a comprehensive, adaptive
ecosystem management approach to sustainable
development. Our projects target public awareness
and action, supported by science-based information,
for setting policy, making decisions, and generally
solving problems in a regional context. We advance
social learning and help local, grassroots organizations
feel inspired and empowered to take responsibility
to act in ways that increase the well-being of
all life by addressing the harmonious solution
of economic, social, and ecological concerns.
We convene public, private sector, and NGO leadership
to engage a broadly shared civic passion for
sustainability that allows people to take charge
of their own destiny and achieve sustainability
in ways that they, themselves identify – action
initiated, driven, and concluded by the community.
Our work assists communities and organizations
to advance their shared vision and desires in
order to achieve comprehensive, sustainable development
that will contribute to the overall well-being
of ecosystems and humans within the Cascade
Bioregion, and beyond.
