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.

On August 9 occured the First Meeting with Owners of the São João River Basin APA, in Silva Jardim (RJ). More than 120 participants were invited to know more about IIS and GEF Private Lands Project and  had the opportunity to discuss issues and solutions for the region.

In the first activity of the day – “Our Territory” – participants were divided into groups according to their property´s location and instructed to identify, on the map, the crops and  breedings practiced in each district. They discussed about the quality of the soil and the water and how it affect their productivity.

In the second activity of the day – “Diagnosis of the production chain” – the participants were divided in groups according to their main agricultural practice. The crop and breeding products and their respective markets were identified in order to think about possible solutions for each step of the production chain:  production, processing and distribution.
