Fundación Jardín Botánico de Medellín

About Fundación Jardín Botánico de Medellín

We are a research, conservation, and education center focused on tropical flora. We execute permanent basic and applied research programs, as well as in situ and ex situ conservation strategies, protecting plants both in their natural environment and outside of it. Our goal is to generate, share, and apply scientific knowledge about the floral biodiversity of Antioquia and Colombia, promoting its valuation, conservation, restoration, and sustainable use to contribute to society's well-being. We act under Law 299 of 1996, which recognizes the conservation, research, and sustainable use of flora as priorities within the country's environmental policy. As a non-profit institution, we work hand-in-hand with the State and the community to strengthen the role of botanical gardens in protecting natural heritage. We conserve biodiversity by protecting life.
