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.
