Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the multifaceted relationships between ecosystems and people, focusing on how human activities impact natural systems and how these systems, in turn, contribute to human well-being. It examines the assessment and management of ecosystem services, including provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting services, and considers ecosystem disservices. The journal also investigates human perceptions of nature, nature-based solutions, and the integration of diverse knowledge systems, such as Indigenous and Western perspectives, for sustainable development and conservation.
