Building resilience – which the dictionary defines as “the ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change” – is now the main focus of The Quivira Coalition. We’ve even adjusted our mission statement to re- flect its increased emphasis in our work. It now reads: The mission of The Quivira Coalition is to build resilience by fostering ecological, economic and social health on western landscapes through education, innovation, collabo- ration, and progressive public and private land stewardship.
