2.3. Local biodiversity included in planning and development
Budai Arboretum
The Buda Arboretum, located at MATE University’s Buda Campus, is a remarkable space dedicated to environmental conservation and biodiversity. Spanning 7.5 hectares at the southern foot of Gellért Hill, it is home to nearly 2,000 plant species, including rare Hungarian-bred varieties and exotic plants that flourish in its unique microclimate. Serving as a living laboratory and a teaching space for horticultural studies, the arboretum showcases sustainable practices in ornamental horticulture. With a rich history dating back to the 19th-century horticultural school founded by Dr. Ferenc Entz, it is now a protected nature conservation area. Through educational initiatives and plant naturalization efforts, the Buda Arboretum continues to contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. Check out their website here to learn more.
