Biodiversity Conservation

We work with the objective of contributing to the biodiversity conservation in environmental, social and economic aspects.

Climate change

We support decision makers in the climate agenda focused on ecosystem conservation and restoration projects and biodiversity.

Ecosystem restoration

The approaches developed by IIS aim to assist the planning and implementation of vegetation recovery projects, exploring synergies and trade-offs between biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and costs, under a variety of scenarios.

Sustainable development

We seek to promote the transition to sustainability, contributing to the balance between socioeconomic development, biodiversity conservation and rational use of natural resources.

Sustainable Land Use

We promote the transition from the traditional agricultural practices to a more sustainable land management, helping to mitigate climate change and guaranteeing the future of the next generations.

Economic Analysis

We seek to strengthen and defend the basic principles of balance between the economy and the environment, favoring research, planning and management in public and private fields, linked to the relationship between ecological, social and economic systems, in order to improve social well-being.

Policies

We assist in the formulation of policies aimed at sustainability, as well as the implementation of practical actions, working in partnership with public sector bodies and other organizations.

Spatial intelligence

Through landscape modeling and monitoring, we identify the patterns and trends of social and ecological systems, supporting decision makers through quantitative statistics and mapped scenarios.

Decision-making towards a more sustainable agriculture

Recognizing that ultimate success of theoretical solutions towards more sustainable agriculture hinges on success of real-world implementation, IIS conducts a study to investigate opportunities and challenges for the adoption of new techniques by the farmers. One of the crucial questions is how to translate the results of scientific analyses into farmers’ everyday practice.

A variety of aspects of sustainable agriculture are being considered; for instance, access to credit, technical assistance, market for sustainable agriculture products, regulation, understanding of and requirements for products from sustainable agriculture. The study is comprised of qualitative and quantitative analyses and involves literature review, focus groups, interviews with key informants, as well as meta-analysis of quantifiable data.
