It's Our Nature to Know
Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute
Leaders in Biodiversity Monitoring
We work collaboratively to provide ongoing, relevant and scientifically credible information on Alberta's living resources.
We're the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI). We track changes in wildlife and their habitats across Alberta.
We collect data on Alberta’s species at sites across the province in an extensive field program.
We use innovative approaches to map and monitor Alberta’s landscapes and human footprint.
Together, we leverage each other’s strengths and expertise to deliver high-quality, scientific information.
We collect and share trusted information on biodiversity and landscapes to meaningfully understand the world around us.
Data For Everyone
Transparent. Accessible. Open.
We’re built around Open Data—the philosophy and practice of making data freely available, easy to access, and easy to use. Open Data helps to connect people and support transparency and collaboration in pursuit of balanced policies and informed conservation and management decisions.
All of our data and products are available for any use by any person or organization—always.
The Value of Value Neutral.
Alberta is home to diverse land uses and perspectives on our living resources. One constant need is for biodiversity and land cover information that’s reliable, trustworthy, and scientifically rigorous. We are an independent, arm’s-length scientific institution; our work is trusted by groups from industry and government to academia, Indigenous communities, and the general public. Focused on quality, collaboration, and accessibility to all, we let our data and products speak for themselves.
