the tlell sustainability institute
is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the sustainable
future of haida gwaii.

sustainable development starts with
making wise choices and having the right information. we therefore take
an active role in environmental
research to increase this knowledge.
tsi has been involved in blue heron
and ermine research as well as in the production of a dvd for local
elementary school kids which
showcased the various aspects of
a forest and of islanders who make
their living in the forest.

on the economic development front,
tsi is actively involved in exploring avenues to establish a more robust
local wood value added industry.
we further promote tourism and local employment through the creation of
an audio-visual facility and producing videos highlighting these islands.
