Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI) is one of the pioneer institutes in India devoted to the conservation and sustainable utilization of tropical biodiversity. The plant conservation activities of JNTBGRI are aligned with the targets laid out under the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which are highly relevant to all the targets under SDG 15. We are now home to over 4000 species, including several species endemic to the Western Ghats. JNTBGRI is unique in its conservation actions with conservatories for all major plant groups and exclusive conservatories for threatened species in India. JNTBGRI is structured in such a way that garden and research and development activities are carried out in an inclusive manner.
