The Cow Watchers
A single story has the power to change our hearts and our minds. Our collective stories, if shared, have the potential to change the future. The news cycle is inundated with unprecedented disasters and challenges to the human condition and natural world we share. This initiative focuses on our stories of resilience—the stories that inspire personal and collective agency, that exemplify health and wellness, that unite, not divide. Stories of Resilience is a signature program of the Resilience Institute (TRI). Though this initiative, we will work with diverse communities and partners to co-create a number of high-quality, multi-media outputs ranging from documenting and sharing a series of stories that shines a light on personal and collective resilience to raise awareness, build connections, and help build capacity for climate resilient futures.
Nestled in a majestic little island in the Pacific Northwest, the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation is working with a team of Canadian scientists to study how ocean diving and seaweed-eating cows can be an answer to combat climate change through changing modern agriculture practices.
The efforts of this project will provide an opportunity for Indigenous People to share ancient environmental wisdom and practices to address the modern problem of climate change. This is a shared project with the Canadian NGO, The Resilience Institute Canada.
Please note, this particular project is still in development with the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. Therefore, donations made here will go to the Stories of Resilience with The Resilience Institute fund and a portion thereof will be used to further the development of this project.
