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.

The search for natural regeneration in large-scale forest landscape restoration

The International Institute for Sustainability held on 19th, 20th and 21st of November the workshop “The Role of Natural Regeneration in Large-scale Forest Landscape Restoration: Challenge and Opportunity”. The meeting, restricted to the participation of guests and will gather researchers, government, business and non-governmental organizations – from Brazil and other countries – discussed the role of natural regeneration in forest restoration.

The workshop was organized by International Institute for Sustainability, World Resources Institute, International Union for Conservation of Nature and PARTNERS, with the support of the Rio Botanical Garden, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Conservation on Biological Diversity and Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact.

The next step will be to produce a report with the resolutions of the workshop and organise other meetings to discuss the role of natural regeneration in restoration policies on a global scale.
