Green infrastructure on campus

The Green Infrastructure of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL) is an essential component of the campuses. These types of areas not only provide a space for recreation, but they also play a crucial role due to the important environmental services they provide, such as improving air quality, producing oxygen in the atmosphere, absorbing carbon dioxide and capturing water, among others; in addition, these areas allow for the reduction of stress and generate recreation, which improves the well-being of the members of the university community.

The gardens, parks and natural areas under the protection of the UANL serve as habitats for diverse species of native flora and fauna, promoting the conservation of biodiversity. In addition, these areas are used as educational and research environments, where students can learn about the composition and functioning of ecosystems, the sustainable management of natural resources and the design and operation of environmental conservation programs.

 UANL is committed to the creation and maintenance of these spaces, ensuring that they integrate harmoniously with the campus infrastructure and promote a culture of respect and care for the environment and sustainability.
