What We Do

We provide ongoing, high-quality data on the species that call Alberta home. 

Our goal is to provide scientific information on the state of Alberta’s biodiversity to support natural resource and land-use decision making in the province. 

Species Monitoring

We monitor and report on the status and trends of Alberta’s species, habitat, and human footprint.

Land Cover and Land Use Mapping

Our Geospatial Centre uses remote sensing data and tools to map and monitor Alberta's landscapes and human footprint.

Taxonomy

Alberta is home to an estimated 80,000 species, most unstudied and some completely undiscovered. The ABMI monitors aquatic invertebrates, amphibians, birds, bryophytes, lichens, mammals, soil mites, and vascular plants.

Sharing Our Work

We have science communication expertise in translating monitoring results and scientific information for a range of audiences and end users.

Oil Sands Monitoring

Collaborative environmental monitoring in the Oil Sands Region.

Airborne Data Collection

Stakeholder Engagement

We focus on five core areas for a balanced strategic plan.
