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.

Room to Grow: The Economic Case for Forest Restoration in Brazil

Restoring degraded land in Brazil would bring significant economic benefits for businesses, in addition to creating jobs and contributing to carbon sequestration. These are some of the conclusions of the study “Room to Grow: The Economic Case for Forest Restoration in Brazil”, developed by the Orbitas initiative in partnership with IIS.

The study indicates that companies and investors could gain up to USD 141 billion through restoration efforts, and the entire country would benefit from the creation of around 360,000 jobs per year and the sequestration of 451 million tonnes of carbon. According to the research, these actions would also revitalise rural economies in the Amazon, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest biomes.
