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.

Bernardo Strassburg, founder of IIS, receives the 2025 Earthshot Prize

Bernardo Strassburg, founder and Executive Director of Science at IIS, was awarded the 2025 Earthshot Prize in recognition of the re.green initiative, of which he is a co-founder, in the category “Protect and Restore Nature”. IIS has been a partner of re.green since 2022 in the development of innovative solutions that contribute to a better understanding of the benefits of restoration in tropical forests.

Considered the “Oscars of Sustainability”, the Earthshot Prize is a sustainability award created in 2020 by Prince William. It seeks to highlight projects with global-scale potential that already demonstrate concrete results and can contribute to restoring the planet by 2030.

The ceremony took place for the first time in Brazil, at the Museum of Tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro. Bernardo received the award alongside re.green’s CEO, Thiago Picolo.
