As part of its functions, the Institute is responsible for conducting scientific research on biodiversity, including hydrobiological and genetic resources, in the Nation's continental territory. It also coordinates the National Biodiversity Information System (SIB Colombia) and the creation of the national biodiversity inventory. This mission is key because biodiversity provides essential services for health and development, not only for the particular species with food and medicinal attributes, but also for the ecosystems that, if they maintain their integrity, regulate the climate and water and slow the spread of infectious diseases.
- Obtain, store, analyze, study, process, provide and disseminate basic information, knowledge and narratives on biodiversity, at all levels of organization, as well as on the ecological and evolutionary processes that occur at the level of genes, species, ecosystems and landscapes for their conservation and sustainable use, ecosystems and landscapes for their conservation and sustainable use
- Contribute to the knowledge of the biological diversity of species, which environmental authorities should have in the development of their competencies, through information systems that use digital sequences of information on genetic resources, especially regarding their extinction, contamination and degradation.
- Promote the incorporation of applied omic sciences for a better understanding of the molecular processes contained in biodiversity, and their possible applications in bioprospecting.
