General objective: Develop and consolidate a group of avant-garde researchers, with a transdisciplinary vision of the challenges of biological conservation, which articulates the biological, social, and economic dimensions of man and his relationship with nature.

Our line of generation and application of knowledge is oriented to the following specific objectives:

• Prevention of habitat degradation and extinction of species.
• Reintroduction of populations.
• Restoration of responsible and sustainable relationships between human populations and ecosystems.

General objective: Contribute to the knowledge of the flora and vegetation of the central area of the state of Veracruz, establishing its uses and potential management.

Our line of generation and application of knowledge is oriented to the following specific objectives:

• Develop ethnobiological research to document the uses of plant and fungal resources in the central zone of the state of Veracruz, in collaboration with groups that possess traditional knowledge based on participatory action-research methodologies.
• Encourage the participation of undergraduate and graduate students to develop participatory action-research based on the development of interdisciplinary academic projects, allowing the joint direction of thesis at the graduate and undergraduate level and collective tutoring.
• Contribute to local groups mainly of traditional doctors for the recovery and revaluation of ethnobotanical and ethnomicological knowledge with biotechnological potential, in collaboration with intercultural and social academic groups that possess traditional knowledge.
• Plan the academic improvement, obtain the recognition of Desirable Profile and the incorporation of its members in the National System of Researchers (SNI), as well as the incorporation of new members.
• Design and develop collective products recognized by PROMEP.
• Link the Academic Research Group with other research groups, in collaborative networks and academic exchange of students and professors for academic stays, strengthening educational programs Academic Research Groups achieving a productive social impact of the academic activity.
• To develop actions of collective academic management and integration for the permanence of the members and collaborators of the Academic Research Groups to define and redefine the line of generation and application of knowledge.
