Strengthening Resilience to Climate Impacts

Students will learn from Wes Olson and Johane Janelle, who have over four decades of bison-related experience, along with other bison experts, and will embark on a transformative journey to learn about the ecological significance of bison.

The Resilience Institute (TRI) is a national charity based in Canada. Our team works locally and globally with diverse partners to minimize suffering caused by climate impacts. Weaving local and Indigenous ways of knowing with science and technology is a cornerstone of our work.   

Program Highlights

The goals of this initiative are to build capacity and complete planning for the reintroduction of buffalo to the Mistawasis Nêhiyawak First Nation community in Saskatchewan

Our Impact

The Resilience Institute was born from the passion of a small group of interdisciplinary scientists who felt that there was a huge disconnect between climate science, communication, and action on climate change. That passion provided the impetus to create a national charity that today is focused on education and applied research that will advance resilience to the current and future consequences of climate change.

Closing the Gap to Adapt

There is too much of a delay between planning and action to reduce vulnerabilities to climate impacts. Our Adaptation Action goals include a flexible pool of funds to enable the implementation of community-identified adaptation and disaster risk reduction strategies – without delay.
