	SAVEM stands for Southern Appalachian Volunteer Environmental Monitoring (SAVEM). SAIN has partnered with the Southern Appalachian Man and the Biosphere (SAMAB) program which is training volunteers from around the southern Appalachian area to monitor ecological health in their community. The volunteers are involved in hands-on invasive exotic plant and water quality surveys. Resulting data can be used to determine the best approaches for effective management as well as improve public awareness of the threats.

The NBII Program is administered by the Biological Informatics Program of the U.S. Geological Survey
