Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute Webinar Series

From taxonomic discoveries and geospatial research to tools and platforms that bring the data to life—check out the It's Our Nature to Know webinar series to learn more about the many facets of the ABMI. Each month or two, a different ABMI staff member (from across our delivery partners at the Universtiy of Alberta, the Royal Alberta Museum, and Innotech Alberta) will explain how and why we monitor the different aspects of Alberta's landscape and biodiversity (across multiple species groups) that we do, and how the data we collect helps to inform land-use decision-making.

The first episode, on the development of the ABMI Wetland Inventory, is this Wednesday June 02, noon to 1 pm MDT. Sign up here for free, for this or future webinars.
