The studies, licenses, and permits for the construction of Research Centers at Quantum City of Knowledge are focused on the ecological management of the territory where they are located. For us, environmental stewardship is as fundamental as it is irreplaceable.
Within the master plan, up to forty percent of the territory has been designated for the conservation of natural areas. Due to the environmental conditions present in the area, there is considerable natural wealth. Therefore, since 2014, cleaning, reforestation, soil restoration, and improvements to the water quality of the Talamantes stream have been carried out. The Talamantes stream is a vital source of wildlife, including insects, birds (great horned owl), amphibians (leopard frog), and reptiles (rattlesnake and Mexican mud turtle), as well as medium-sized mammals such as the gray fox, bobcat, coyotes, opossums, raccoons, and ring-tailed cats.
The vegetation in the ethnobiological garden is very extensive. Among the trees, we find the ahuehuete, tepozán, oaks, pines, willows, poplars, and introduced species such as the pirul. This type of vegetation is typical of the ecosystem known as gallery vegetation. We can also find naturally established species such as cacti, shrubs, palms, nopales, and natural grasses. This type of vegetation is found in the ecosystem known as xerophytic scrubland.
Currently, the Government of the State of Zacatecas, through the Zacatecas Council of Science, Technology and Innovation, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Works, is promoting the architectural design for the establishment of the Zacatecas Ethnobotanical Garden. This design includes the development of trails, a plant nursery, ecological niches, wildlife viewing stations, a herbarium, service facilities, an entrance plaza, and an environmental education classroom. The Zacatecas Garden is a member of the National Network of Ethnobotanical Gardens of Mexico.
