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.

Julia Niemeyer

Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis Specialist

Julia is biologist by the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO). She attended to one year of the Masters in Biodiversity Functional Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology at the Rennes 1 University in France (Master 1 - EFCE) and holds a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Ecology by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). She has experience with computational modelling for biodiversity and ecosystem services, and with geospatial analysis using GIS, R and GEE environments. Her research focuses on the effects of land use and climate changes on socioenvironmental security, and on systematic planning for environmental conservation and restoration, to generate relevant information for socio-environmental policies.
At IIS, she acts as a researcher specialized in Geographic Information System, Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis.
