Purpose of the Green Gala

The Green Gala helps us raise funds to continue our mission to advance environmental stewardship.

Mariana Islands Nature Alliance (MINA) held its annual and signature event, the Green Gala on September 20, 2024.

MINA has been consistently advancing environmental stewardship in the CNMI since 2005 with its Tasi Watch Ranger Program, marine debris removal, and a continuation of our Bring Back our Trees campaign, outreach, and education programs, and marine debris prevention with our Adopt-a-Bin program. We have another exciting project launched last spring through our Schools for Environmental Conservation program called "Community Recycles Plastic" with plastics upcycled to create products, which was highlighted at this year's Gala.

We thank you for your support in helping us in our mission to advance environmental stewardship in our islands.
