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 is a #UNBiodiversityLab 2.0 data provider

The UN Biodiversity Lab (UNBL) partnership launched UNBL 2.0 during Day 1 of the Nature for Life Hub on 4th October 2021, to enable UN agencies, governments, and other stakeholders to access state-of-the-art spatial data to take action for conservation and sustainable development.

Developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), and the Secretariat of the UN Biodiversity Convention, UNBL 2.0 is freely available online to governments and other stakeholders as a digital public good. Available in English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish, the redesigned platform offers modern web app design and enhanced functionalities based on user feedback. Users can now visualize over 400 of the world’s best available global spatial data layers; create secure workplaces to analyze data; access curated data collections to generate insight for action; and more.

IIS is proud to provide data to the #UNBiodiversityLab 2.0 as part of our work through the Nature Map Consortium.
