BIOTA PARTNERSHIPS
Biota/Fapesp Program partnerships are alliances between Fapesp and private and/or public partners from Brazil and abroad.
Cooperation with these partners is expected to generate a specific and complementary added value for research and innovation for the management of Brazilian biodiversity.
The partnerships are conceived jointly by the Biota/Fapesp Coordination, Fapesp agents and the third party and they result in specific calls.
Find below previous and ongoing partnerships of Biota/Fapesp Program, the selected projects and their main results.
CURRENT PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships with NWO, GEF, MCTI, NSF and more
FORMER PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships with CNPq, Belmont Forum, NERC and more

The Bonn challenge calls for the restoration of 150 million hectares of the world’s deforested and degraded land by 2020 and 350 million by 2030. It is a scientific challenge to provide knowledge-based guidelines for lasting restoration of ecosystems and the services they provide. This challenge is not limited to a specific country or region; it is a worldwide issue that should be tackled in cooperation, bringing together different countries, research institutes, public and private organizations and research disciplines.
- NewFor – Understanding restored forests for benefiting people and nature
- ReSeed – The contribution of plant-animal interactions to biodiversity and ecosystem restoration of the Atlantic Forest
- BioFor – Applying the biotic soil legacy approach to understand positive-negative biota interactions for direct forest restoration from plant-soil communities feedbacks
- GoFor – Governing the Atlantic Forest transition: improving our knowledge on forest recovery for ecosystem services
- The machines that make biology a science of huge numbers
- Scientists set out to understand how regenerated Atlantic rainforest areas help protect biodiversity
- In 20 years, natural regeneration of tropical forests recoups 80% of old-growth carbon and soil fertility
- Brazilian science attracting attention worldwide

Dimensions of Biodiversity
The Dimensions of Biodiversity program aims to transform the understanding of the scope and role of life on Earth. Researchers are encouraged to propose projects that transcend traditional boundaries between areas of biodiversity research. The program focuses on the genetic, phylogenetic and functional dimensions of biodiversity.

ECOFOR: Biodiversidade e funcionamento de ecossistemas em áreas alteradas pelo homem nas Florestas Amazônica e Atlântica
This partnership was carried out within the scope of the Human-modified Tropical Forest (HMTF) Program, whose objective is to integrate experimental and observational data with models to understand the role of biodiversity in the main biogeochemical forest cycles. It also aims to explore the spatial correlations between ecosystem functioning and biogeochemical cycles and the distribution of species of conservation concern, through a long-term research network.
