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.

This collection comprises specimen vouchers and tissue samples of most of the peruvian herpetofauna species: 436 species of amphibians and 337 species of reptiles, which comprises 74% of the amphibian and 69% of the reptile diversity, this according to the current diversity recorded for Peru. This is expresed in the more than 18,000 voucher specimens we store, and the more than 6,200 tissue samples, numbers that are growing constantly.
