Conservação Internacional do Brasil: Building a Healthier and More Productive Planet
Conservação Internacional do Brasil (CI) is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development in Brazil. The organization was founded in 1987, and since then, it has been working tirelessly to conserve the natural resources of Brazil.
At CI, we believe that human beings are entirely dependent on nature. We understand that when we work to save nature, we are really working to save ourselves. Our mission is to build a healthier, more prosperous, and more productive planet for everyone.
Our work at CI focuses on three main areas: biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and sustainable development. We believe that these three areas are interconnected and must be addressed together if we want to achieve our goal of building a better world.
Biodiversity Conservation
Brazil is home to some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. From the Amazon rainforest to the Atlantic Forests of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil's natural beauty is unparalleled. However, this biodiversity is under threat from deforestation, habitat destruction, pollution and climate change.
At CI Brazil we work with local communities as well as government agencies at all levels - municipal , state , federal -to protect these ecosystems by creating protected areas such as national parks or reserves; supporting sustainable use practices such as agroforestry or ecotourism; conducting scientific research; monitoring wildlife populations; engaging with stakeholders through education campaigns or public events ;and advocating for policies that promote conservation .
Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation
Climate change poses one of the greatest threats facing humanity today . It affects everything from food security , water availability , health outcomes , economic growth prospects . At CI Brazil we recognize this challenge but also see opportunities for innovation .
We support initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy projects like wind farms or solar panels ; promoting low-carbon transportation options such as bike lanes or public transit ; and encouraging sustainable land use practices like reforestation or conservation agriculture .
We also work to help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change by providing technical assistance, training, and resources for disaster preparedness; supporting the development of early warning systems; and promoting resilient infrastructure.
Sustainable Development
CI Brazil recognizes that economic growth is essential for human well-being but must be balanced with environmental protection. We believe that sustainable development is possible when we integrate social, economic, and environmental considerations into decision-making processes.
We work with local communities to promote sustainable livelihoods through initiatives such as ecotourism or agroforestry. We also engage with businesses to encourage them to adopt more environmentally friendly practices such as reducing waste or using renewable energy sources.
Our advocacy efforts focus on promoting policies that support sustainable development at all levels of government. We believe that by working together we can create a better future for everyone.
