I mean, certainly southern Alberta has had well over a century of industrial activity, of policies and management activities to support our local farming communities, to support our energy sector development and to support the places where we live.  Most of us live in southern Alberta.     There are a lot of demands on the land base.    There&rsquo;s interest in understanding where we&rsquo;re at today and then having a dialogue with Albertans about where we want to be in the next ten years, twenty years, half a century.  So what do we want to see in the future and  pass on to future generations?  <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> The report on   the status of biodiversity in southern Alberta is available online at <em>www.abmi.ca<\/em> <\/p>\n<p><em> Thanks today to <strong>Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n<p> <strong>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/> I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER   <\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\">Alberta Innovates Technology Futures<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Alberta Innovates launched its consolidation on November 1, 2016<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et-waypoint et_pb_image et_pb_animation_off et_pb_image_5 et_always_center_on_mobile et_pb_image_sticky et-animated\"> \t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/albertainnovates.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/tech_futures_v2_icon.png\" \/> \t\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>780-450-5111<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertatechfutures.ca\/\">albertatechfutures.ca<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>250 Karl Clark Road,<br \/>Edmonton, Alberta, Canada<br \/>T6N 1E4<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/AI_Tech_RGB_smallForWeb.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02011-08-25<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The <strong>Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute<\/strong> has released its preliminary report on the status of biodiversity in the southern part of Alberta.
