If you follow the ABMI’s social media, you’ll already know about our What does biodiversity mean to you? writing contest. If not, we have news for you: The ABMI has a writing contest, in partnership with Alberta Views Magazine!

The rules are simple: Submit an original 500 – 750 word essay on what biodiversity means to you⁠—Albertans of all ages are welcome to enter. The only catch is that the deadline to enter is coming up soon, on May 31 at 23:59 Alberta time. The grand prize winner will receive $500 and the chance to have their entry published in Alberta Views Magazine, and there will also be two runner-up prizes of $250.

If you need inspiration for your essay and your interests run toward science and research, why not check out a webinar about caribou? Better yet, why not check out a series of webinars about caribou? The ABMI’s Caribou Monitoring Unit has joined forces with the Regional Industry Caribou Collaboration (RICC) and National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium to put on a regular webinar series exploring the latest research on caribou recovery in Canada. The webinars are live at 2 pm MDT on Tuesdays, but are also archived online so you can view them any time. Sign up here for any of the upcoming webinars⁠—the next one is this coming Tuesday, May 26.

Until next time!
