We work with the objective of contributing to the biodiversity conservation in environmental, social and economic aspects.
We support decision makers in the climate agenda focused on ecosystem conservation and restoration projects and biodiversity.
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.
We seek to promote the transition to sustainability, contributing to the balance between socioeconomic development, biodiversity conservation and rational use of natural resources.
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.
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.
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.
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 was invited to join a Global Forest Expert Panel to prepare a report on global assessment on Biodiversity, Forest Management and REDD+. The Expert Panel included 24 scientists and other experts from a variety of biophysical and social science disciplines and additional 18 contributing authors, who added their expertise to the assessment.
