CES Arboretum: we have 780 native species that are part of the CES Arboretum, among which are 40 species considered threatened. This collection of living trees is an important component of the network of urban forests in the city of Medellin, becoming a benchmark for the academic community and being an institutional heritage of our university. Our forest area of 181,985 m2, represented between the Poblado and CVZ headquarters, this area provides important ecosystem services such as CO2 capture, flow regulation, range of slopes, noise mitigation, landscape enrichment and attraction of fauna .
In addition, we have the Palmetum CES, which has 44 individuals of native palms of different species, providing different ecosystem services, among which are: generation of food for birds, fixation of CO2, conservation of biodiversity, habitat for fauna, among others.
This program is developed from the Biology and Ecology Program, becoming an environmental and social heritage of the entire university community.
