Her passion since the age of 12 to save the rainforests began the journey. Then when looking at the Pacific Grey Whale in the eye in San Ignacio Lagoon, at the last natural Grey Whale breeding ground, as Campaign Manager pushing people to listen, while being a part of a successful five-year battle deeming it a World Heritage Site. The power of advocacy kicked into drive.
With a mission to advocate interconnectedness, combined with compassionate leadership, public health, ethical public policy, science and technology, clean air, water, soil, and energy, and protecting all species, Pilialoha believes we can become sustainable! Then when she “Youth Indicators” it all clicked. The “youth are key indicators of how we are doing as a society.”
She combined her passion for writing & storytelling with the vision for a sustainable future and so PilialohaNow Building Sustainability began!

A journey she is willing to take to bridge understandings and differences, helping society accept change which is the basis of sustainability, in order to make positive impacts!
