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.

Researcher

Biologist and Master in Ecology by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Ph.D. in Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation by the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC), Brazil. She performed part of her Ph.D. activities at the University of East Anglia (UEA), UK, where she also obtained a Postdoctoral degree. Her research includes studies about (i) the influence of ecological interactions on patterns of species occupancy and community’s assembly; (ii) the effects of human-induced habitat degradation on biodiversity and the implications for species conservation, and (iii) the effectiveness of protected areas in conserving biodiversity.

As researcher specialist in Ecological Restoration at the International Institute for Sustainability, is part of the Conservation team, working in projects that develop research to be directly applied to public policies, mainly focused on the contribution of private areas for biodiversity conservation and the maintenance of the benefits of nature to people.
