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.

IIS joins the Rio People’s Ecological Council and takes part in the launch event

IIS is a member of the People’s Ecological Council of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) and took part on 13 August in the official launch of the initiative, led by state deputy Dani Balbi.

As part of the council, which has an advisory role, IIS representatives will meet with social movements, traditional communities, researchers, environmentalists and representatives from vulnerable territories.

The aim is to create spaces for listening and popular participation in the formulation of socio-environmental public policies to tackle inequalities affecting peripheral populations.

In addition, the Council may also play a role in monitoring projects and policies that impact the environment and the wellbeing of communities.
