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.

Consultative workshops to identify priority areas for the recovery of native vegetation in the Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal

The Project “Conservation, Restoration and Management Strategies for the Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal Biodiversity”, the Terrestrial GEF, aims to promote the effective conservation of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems, focusing on the Caatinga, Pampa and Pantanal biomes, by strengthening the Management of Conservation Units (UCs), the recovery of degraded areas and the conservation of threatened species.

IIS provides technical consultancy for the Project and, between September and November 2020, held consultative workshops with specialists from the respective biomes. In these workshops, the specialties of the multicriteria spatial modeling approach were presented, based on entire linear programming for spatial planning of the recovery of native vegetation, in order to elaborate and discuss the databases, criteria and scenarios to ensure that the particularities of the biomes wererepresented in modeling. During the workshops, the participantes pointed out suggestions on the variables, criteria and scenarios .

From this analysis, it will be possible to identify where the vegetation recovery cost- benefit will be greater, allowing the optimization of the use of public and private resources in the recovery of large-scale vegetation in these biomes.
