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.

IIS and partners discuss acess to rural credit at Alta Floresta/MT

The International Institute for Sustainability, in partnership with the Center of Life Institute (ICV) and Bank of Brazil held an event about sustainable credit on May 22nd. The meeting in Alta Floresta/MT was attended by 25 participants, including rural producers, technicians from NATI Integrated Technical Assistance Center (NATI), students of the State University of Mato Grosso (Unemat) and technicians from accredited companies with the Bank of Brazil, as well as the general manager of the Bank of Brazil in Alta Floresta, Paul Beregula.

The main objective was to articulate connections between the actors of livestock chain involved with rural credit, destined to the implementation of good agricultural practices (GAP) and the sustainable intensification of livestock. The IIS team presented the results of a research conducted in the region, which identified the main barriers to the widespread implementation of rural credit. Then, the sustainable credit project for the micro-region of Alta Floresta was presented, aimed specifically to the producers of Programa Novo Campo.

All suggestions on rural credit raised at the meeting will later be analyzed by the Steering Committee of Programa Novo Campo.
