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.

Agroforestry Systems in the Atlantic Forest (SiAMA)

SiAMA (Agroforestry Systems in the Atlantic Forest) project aims to create technical and institutional incentives to promote the adoption of Agroforestry Systems (AFS) in the Atlantic Forest as a regional development strategy, to conserve the biome’s biodiversity and contributing to combat poverty. Lead by Agroicone along with the Green Initiative and the Safe Harbor Defense Movement (MDPS), the project started in June 2021 and is funded by the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions).

IIS is partner in the development of a comparative study of Agroforestry experiences in Brazilian states, supporting Agroicone in the internal structuring of reference materials for other project activities, as well as external publications. The study consists in two products:

• Survey of more than 100 relevant studies in Agroforestry.

• Comparative study of 3 experiences selected by Agroicone, in agroforestry Brazilian states.
