The Columbia Mountains Institute of Applied Ecology (CMI) is a non-profit society based in Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. We are an association that connects people working in the various fields of applied ecology – natural resource practitioners, managers, researchers, educators, academics, and others with an interest in the ecology of southeastern British Columbia. The CMI is known for hosting balanced, science-driven conferences, and specialized courses, that keep members and non-members up-to-date on the newest information and methodologies. Our website offers many resources, including conference summaries for all of our past events.
 

The purpose of the Columbia Mountains Institute of Applied Ecology is to improve ecological management by increasing and sharing knowledge about the ecology of the Columbia Mountains and regional ecosystems.
