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.

Technical and scientific manager

Biologist and Master in Ecology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), PhD in Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation from the State University of Santa Cruz (UESC). She developed part of her PhD at the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA), in the United Kingdom, where she also held a Post-Doctorate. Throughout her career, she has carried out research in different areas of Ecology and Conservation Biology, addressing issues mainly related to the effects of anthropogenic habitat degradation on biodiversity and implications for the conservation of species, as well as the effectiveness of protected areas for the biodiversity conservation. One of her specialties is performing meta-analyses for investigating ecological patterns.

As technical-scientific manager of the IIS, she leads the coordinators of the technical teams in the execution of projects that address different themes related to the Sustainability agenda, such as spatial planning for ecosystem restoration and biodiversity conservation, sustainable management of native vegetation, contribution of areas private facilities for conserving biodiversity and maintaining the benefits of nature for people.
