The ABMI is a value-neutral, non-profit scientific organization that tracks changes in Alberta's wildlife and habitats from border to border to provide ongoing, relevant, and scientifically credible information on Alberta's living resources.

We are a global leader in biodiversity monitoring, delivering one of the largest, most comprehensive biodiversity monitoring programs in the world. ABMI data are regularly used by academia, government, industry, non-governmental-organizations, and the general public, for a variety of purposes from land-use planning to policy development to simple curiosity.

The Bioacoustic Unit is a collaboration between the Bayne Lab at the University of Alberta and the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute. We are a leader in the application of wildlife acoustic data to environmental management and research needs.

We will assist you in collecting audio data, analyzing the recordings, and reporting the results. Our team conducts research to enhance our methodologies and better understand our natural acoustic environment. We develop tools, protocols and recommendations on the best practices for using acoustic technology for monitoring programs across the country.
