Pillars of Resilience

The Pillars of Resilience below group projects based on the actions achieved through their implementation. Since nearly all projects deliver multiple benefits, each project is likely to be categorized under multiple Pillars of Resilience. Developed by TCSI as part of a framework to describe and measure resilience, the ten Pillars represent long-term, landscape-scale outcomes aimed at restoring resilience. These include both ecological values, such as biodiversity, and societal benefits to communities, such as water security.
