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.

“Forest means wealth, abundance and prosperity”

In the Amazon, forest ensure water security, biodiversity and human well-being. Recognizing this is fundamental to strengthening sustainable production chains and promoting human and economic development in the region, through forest conservation, management and restoration – agendas that must be integrated into multisectoral policies and actions.

This is the vision of the Alliance for Restoration in Amazon – a multi-institutional initiative with the objective of qualify and expand the scale of forest restoration in the Brazilian Amazon – whose mission is to promote integration between different actions and cooperation between multiple agents engaged in the theme.

IIS is a member of the Alliance alongside other civil society organizations, government institutions, research institutions and private sector companies acting in partnership to catalyse and amplify the restoration agenda in the Amazon. IIS is represented on the network by its technical director Carlos Alberto de Mattos Scaramuzza.

IIS´s main contribution to the network will be to provide scenarios of spatial planning for restoration, monitoring of restoration, economics of restoration, strengthening of production chains, among others.

The Alliance promotes transformative governance that brings together actors from different sectors with a common goal, promoting dialogue and the exchange of knowledge. We believe that sharing projects and initiatives will enhance the engagement of actors in the actions promoted by IIS, as well as the participation of IIS in actions promoted by other actors, mutually benefiting all partners.
