PBZT is not only an amusement park for all ages but also a National Research Center for the conservation and multiplication of threatened and endangered species.
Knowledge of flora and habitats is the essential basis for conservation.
This mission relies on the skills of botanists, a veritable living encyclopedia capable of recognizing plants and vegetation, or phytosociologists who will study plant communities and their interactions with their environment. These passionate scientists contribute to creating the reference tools that are herbariums, atlases, taxonomic indexes, habitat repositories, essential tools for the action of the botanical conservatory on its territory.
To preserve a heritage in the long term, we must first learn to know and recognize it.

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.
