Conservation: Plant, Animal, and Wildlife Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture

The institute plays an active role in conserving biological diversity and ensuring the sustainable management of natural resources. Various initiatives have been implemented to protect plant, animal, and wildlife genetic resources that contribute to ecological balance and agricultural resilience. The campus maintains dedicated green zones, botanical gardens, and experimental fields where native and adaptive plant species are cultivated. These spaces not only serve as living laboratories for students and researchers but also help preserve the genetic heritage of local vegetation adapted to the regional climate and soil conditions.

To support long-term conservation, the institute collaborates with agricultural research centers and local farms to secure plant seeds and genetic materials in controlled storage facilities. These seed banks and medium-term preservation units ensure that rare and endangered species are protected from environmental degradation and habitat loss. Through this system, the institute contributes to national and international efforts to safeguard biodiversity and maintain the genetic foundation for sustainable food production. Faculty and students actively participate in seed collection, cataloging, and propagation activities as part of research and community engagement projects.

Wildlife conservation is another priority area of the institute’s environmental strategy. Areas within and surrounding the campus are maintained as safe habitats for small animals, birds, and pollinators. Tree planting programs and green landscaping projects help sustain ecological corridors that connect local biodiversity with wider natural ecosystems. Furthermore, the campus follows strict environmental management practices that minimize pollution and promote coexistence between human activities and surrounding wildlife. Environmental awareness campaigns are conducted regularly to educate students about the importance of wildlife protection and ecosystem balance.

In addition, the institute emphasizes research on agricultural sustainability through the study of genetic resources. Laboratories focused on agronomy, biotechnology, and environmental sciences conduct studies on crop improvement, soil fertility, and pest resistance using preserved genetic materials. These research outcomes support innovation in sustainable agriculture and contribute to regional food security. By combining scientific research, practical conservation efforts, and community participation, the institute ensures that the preservation of plant, animal, and wildlife genetic resources remains a long-term commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development.
