Malabar Botanical Garden and Institute for Plant Science (MBGIPS) is the top institute in the nation. Their work towards the conservation of aquatic and wetland plant ecosystems is helping to prevent the destruction of the habitat, making it a definite addition to your Calicut tour package. It focuses on the preservation and study of the aquatic plant biodiversity, lower group plants, and endangered species native to the Malabar region of Kerala.

The garden is spread over 16 hectares of land, with 6 hectares of wetland. It turns into a placid lake during monsoons, making it ideal for wetland ecosystem conservation.

Aquagene, the Aquatic Plant Conservatory, is one of the biggest and most unique in India. It is not only responsible for the conservation of delicate, rare, endangered, and threatened species on the verge of extinction, but also genetically diverse plants with specific ecosystems and geographical locations are grown here.
