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.

CSRio Seminar “Sustainability Indicators: Use of Evaluation in Social and Environmental Projects by Executing and Financing Institutions

Considering the opportunity that the use of sustainability indicators brings to the evaluation of social, environmental and socio-environmental projects, the biologist and master in Sciences, Ana Marcela Bergamasco, presented her research on available indicators used for this kind of projects and by funders. Relevant insights on project monitoring and evaluation were also presented.

The presentation occured by video conference on May 14, 2020, from 17:00 to 19:00.

 

Ana Marcela is a biologist and has a master’s degree in Sciences from the University of São Paulo USP. His first master’s degree was focused on the evaluation of endocrine disruptors in water sources and supply in the State of São Paulo through bioindicators and bioassays. Recently, she also became a master in Biodiversity in Conservation Units at the National School of Tropical Botany of the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, whose research addressed the analysis of indicators used to evaluate socio-environmental projects used by executing institutions and project financiers, looking for indicators sustainability. In her professional career she was a consultant in Projects at IBAMA-Pnud, evaluating ecotoxicological aspects of pesticides as well as a consultant at PAHO with the Ministry of Health, evaluating contaminants related to risks in water for human consumption. Since 2012 she has been an Environmental Analyst at Petrobras, where she has worked in research through bioremediation projects in contaminated areas, as an appraiser, and in the social responsibility and socio-environmental investments sector, as project manager. A few months ago, she started to act as manager of a portfolio of socio-environmental projects financed by the company focused on different thematic lines such as forest and water conservation, as well as conservation of marine biodiversity that include environmental and social co-benefits.
