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.

Renato Crouzeilles has MSc and PhD in Ecology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He studied part of his doctorate at the University of Queensland and at the Australian National University, under the supervision of Drs. Hugh Possingham and David Lindenmayer, respectively. He has experience in Ecology area, with emphasis on Ecology and Restoration Landscapes, Spatial Prioritization and Conservation Biology. His work focus on reconcile environmental management with public policies on different spatial scales, to be applied into actions related to biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration and adaptive management.

He is currently associate at the International Institute for Sustainability (IIS), associate professor at Rio Conservation and Sustainability Science Center (CSRio) and colaborator professor at the Graduate Program in Ecology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). In IIS he acts mainly in the development of scientific research focused on spatial prioritization of large-scale restoration and global meta-analyzes on the success of forest restoration.
