The initiative was part of the institute\u2019s effort, launched several years ago, to study the feasibility of creating a center focused on research and public policy in ecology and the environment. This pilot project became an independent institution, called the Relva Institute, which began to take shape in 2025 and is dedicated to producing science applied to public policy.<\/p>\n<p>Biodiversity and ecosystem functions in tropical biomes are rapidly deteriorating and are still poorly understood by decision-makers. As the country with the greatest biodiversity in the world, Brazil has the potential to become a global leader in tropical ecology, promoting innovative scientific solutions to urgent environmental challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The pilot project\u2019s research group included experts in hydrology, biodiversity, ecology, mathematics, climate, archaeology, anthropology, public policy, economics, and communication. One of its projects is an online geospatial platform containing data on the valuation of ecosystem services related to water, biodiversity, and carbon, which continues to be developed at the Relva Institute.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2024, the group\u2014comprising 13 scientists\u2014worked on two different fronts. One focused on identifying the center\u2019s main knowledge gaps and long-term strategic priorities, while the other concentrated on syntheses yielding more immediate results.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15212&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1753460672638{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meeting of the scientists who helped build the Ecology Center pilot, in February, in Rio de Janeiro.
