We provide scientifically credible, relevant outcomes built on a foundation of collaboration and innovation.
Our 2023–26 Strategic Plan outlines five key areas of operation.
From the boreal forest in the north to the grasslands in the south, the ABMI monitors the state of Alberta’s biodiversity. We conduct biodiversity surveys throughout the province using a systematic approach to capture data on a wide range of Alberta's species and their habitats, in both upland and wetland locations.
We are proud to help advance environmental science by improving existing field methods, testing and adopting new technologies, and working to refine data analysis. Working closely with our partners, we seek to publish original research while focusing on the information needs of resource managers in our province.
We take pride in collaborating; in supporting the needs of partners, stakeholders, and Indigenous communities; and in sharing our work for broader benefit. The resulting data and expertise represent a living, growing wealth of accessible information for Albertans, and for researchers and land managers across Canada and beyond.
Alberta’s biodiversity is a living heritage fund for all Albertans. We understand how much Albertans value their living resources. That’s why we're committed to responding to our users’ needs, building connections to reach new and underrepresented audiences, and ensuring that our work is accessible, understandable, and engaging to all.
We ensure that we maintain a system of sustainable improvement, creating a rewarding and safe place that attracts and retains the right employees, and maintaining strong fiscal responsibility.
