We work with the objective of contributing to the biodiversity conservation in environmental, social and economic aspects.
We support decision makers in the climate agenda focused on ecosystem conservation and restoration projects and biodiversity.
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.
We seek to promote the transition to sustainability, contributing to the balance between socioeconomic development, biodiversity conservation and rational use of natural resources.
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.
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.
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.
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 article “The role of natural regeneration to ecosystem services provision and habitat availability: a case study in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest” investigated the benefits of natural regeneration for climate change, sediment retention and biodiversity conservation through a case study in the Atlantic Forest.
