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.

Workshop discuses options for the recovery of Native vegetation

Options for the Recovery of Native Vegetation: Economic-ecological arrangements for the region of the Fluminense Central Mosaic.

It was the theme of the workshop held by IIS this week, that brought together researchers, extensionists, farmers and members of the government of the State of Rio de Janeiro to discuss different options for recovering native vegetation in order to comply with current environmental legislation. Possible species arrangements were also designed to be evaluated in the project “Economic Analysis of the Productive Chain of the Recovery of Native Vegetation in the Mosaic Region of Conservation Units of the Central Atlantic Forest”, financed by the Brazilian Biodiversity Fund (FUNBIO). as part of the Program Biodiversity and Climate Change in the Atlantic Forest of the Ministry of Environment.
