Who we are > Internal collaborator
Renato Crouzeilles
Director and CEO
Renato Crouzeilles is Director and CEO of the International Institute for Sustainability Australia (IIS AU), Director of Science at the Mombak startup, assistant professor in the postgraduate course in Environmental Sciences at the Veiga de Almeida University, Collaborator Lecturer in the Post-Graduate Program in Ecology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), and Collaborator Lecturer in the Professional Master’s Program in Sustainability Science at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro.
He has a PhD in Ecology at UFRJ, conducted partially at the University of Queensland and at the Australian National University. He has experience in landscape restoration and ecology, systematic spatial planning and capacity building. His aim is to inform, design and support environmental decision making by providing capacity exchange programs in systematic spatial planning and developing spatial optimisation planning tools for forest and landscape restoration.
