Driven by purpose. Backed by science.
In this space, we share the heart of our work: meaningful projects, solid research methods, and the partners who believe in the power of local action and global impact.
Audiovisual and Storytelling for Conservation
We create documentaries, short series, institutional videos, installations, and digital narratives that amplify local voices and promote action for social and environmental justice. These are stories of resilience, coexistence with biodiversity and community-driven solutions for conservation.
Conservation initiatives
We lead habitat restoration projects and conduct wildlife monitoring programs to protect endangered species, particularly large carnivores like jaguars and pumas. Our team works tirelessly to preserve biodiversity and ensure the survival of these creatures, while also promoting ecotourism initiatives that connect people with nature and contribute to local economies. Additionally, our strategies in carnivore-human conflict mitigation foster peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife in the Cerrado.
Women’s empowerment in science
We are passionate about fostering gender equality in conservation. Through STEM education, leadership training, and advocacy, we empower women and girls to become leaders in science and environmental stewardship.
Climate change mitigation
We implement sustainable agriculture practices, promote renewable energy solutions, and develop climate adaptation strategies to help communities become more resilient to environmental changes.
Research and Innovation
We employ cutting-edge techniques such as camera trapping, GPS tracking, and ecological surveys to gather crucial data. This scientific approach informs our strategies and enhances our understanding of ecosystem dynamics.
Sustainable Development
Our initiatives promote sustainable livelihoods that benefit both people and wildlife. By integrating conservation with economic development, we help communities thrive while preserving their natural heritage.
Wildlife Monitoring
We use a variety of methods, including camera traps, footprint analysis, and fecal analysis, to gather comprehensive data on animal populations and their health. Camera traps capture images of wildlife activity, providing visual records that help identify and monitor species presence. Footprint and fecal analysis offer invaluable insights into animal behavior, diet, and population dynamics, enabling us to track species presence and ecological health meticulously.
The institute and our leader are honored to have received the following grants and awards for our impactful projects:
PROTECTING JAGUARS MEANS PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY
When a jaguar disappears, countless other species vanish too.
With your support, we safeguard wildlife and the Brazilian ecosystems.
