Conservation Biology

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Conservation Biology focuses on understanding and addressing biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Recent articles highlight the importance of data collection and assessment for extinction risk, the role of citizen science in environmental knowledge, and the identification of ecological refuges for threatened species. The journal also examines community-based conservation efforts, the impact of taxonomy on conservation planning, and the challenges of seed biology for restoration programs. Furthermore, it explores demand-reduction interventions for illegal wildlife trade, methods for measuring human-carnivore coexistence, and the analysis of population trends in waterbirds. Restoration practices in forests, spatial prioritization for protected areas, and the use of ecological niche models for predicting habitat under climate change are also key areas of research. The journal also addresses the governance of wildlife management, principles for effective community-based restoration, and the identification of climate refugia for coral reefs. Finally, it investigates the success of species translocations, the impact of land-use change concealment on pro-environmental behavior, and the development of knowledge games for conservation science.
