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.

Now it’s law: Pará must restore vegetation on 5.6 million hectares

The Native Vegetation Recovery Plan of Pará (PRVN-PA) was presented at the 2023 Paraense Forum on Climate Change and Adaptation

After being announced during COP28, the Native Vegetation Recovery Plan of Pará (PRVN-PA) was presented at the 2023 Paraense Forum on Climate Change and Adaptation in Belém. This plan has a highly ambitious goal of restoring 5.65 million hectares by 2030, which is approximately 10 times the area of the Federal District.

It includes more than 225 actions aimed at bringing environmental, social, and economic benefits, such as climate change mitigation, the creation of green jobs, and ensuring food sovereignty not only for Pará but for the entire Brazil. Under the leadership of the State Secretariat of Environment of Pará, the development of the Native Vegetation Recovery Plan involved more than forty organizations, including government agencies, research institutions, the private sector, indigenous peoples, Quilombolas, and traditional populations.

The IIS actively participated in the organization, integration, and formulation of the plan based on its accumulated experience with the construction of the National Policy for the Recovery of Native Vegetation, the Proveg.

The PRVN has a genuine commitment to the Amazon and will support the state in recovering its areas, also assisting Brazil in achieving its goals.
