The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) announce the result of a call for proposals of joint research projects issued in 2018 under the scientific cooperation agreement between institutions.
“Ecosystem restoration” was the theme for the call and especifically the Brazilian Atlantic Forest as a case study.
The funded projects combined will focus on ecosystem services, multi-functional landscape use and biodiversity, with the ultimate aim to contribute to effective restoration and sustainable use of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
Four collaborative projects were selected and will be conducted by researchers from universities in the State of São Paulo and the Netherlands.
