Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanical Garden

The formation of INECOL arose around the interest in developing research on the use of natural resources, conservation and biodiversity in Mexico. In turn, this interest stemmed from the need to have basic studies and scientifically founded answers to solve ecological problems derived from the use of natural resources. This position has allowed us to gather an important accumulation of experiences and is still valid today. With this, it seeks to support with solid foundations the establishment of adequate policies and mechanisms to continue and promote the development of the country, avoiding as much as possible the affectation of the environment and the biological wealth of the ecosystems, which condition the quality of life and the well-being of the population.

The Ethnobotanical Garden displays hundreds of plant species live, all of them native to Oaxaca. We started planting them in July 1998. The plants come from different regions of the State, both from arid and humid climates, from lowland tropics and temperate and cold mountainous areas. The Garden thus represents the great diversity of climates, geological formations and types of vegetation that characterize Oaxaca.
