The formation of INECOL arose from the interest in developing research on the use of natural resources, conservation and biodiversity in Mexico. In turn, this interest arose from the need for basic studies and scientifically based answers to solve the ecological problems derived from the use of natural resources. This position has allowed the gathering of an important body of experience and is still valid today. The aim is to provide a solid basis for the establishment of appropriate policies and mechanisms to continue and promote the country's development, avoiding as far as possible the impact on the environment and the biological richness of ecosystems, which determine the quality of life and well-being of the population.
