The science and practice of understanding and caring for the planet in all its aspects demand the multi-faceted approach that Environmental Conservation has taken since 1973. Our international and multidisciplinary editorial board welcomes research papers, reports, comments, perspectives and subject reviews addressing any aspects of environmental conservation science, policy and practice, informed by rigorous studies from local to global scales. We embrace: environmental management and governance; ecosystem resilience and change; resource sustainability; and biomes, biodiversity and biota on land, in the sea and in fresh waters. We actively assist early-career and non-native English speakers with pertinent manuscripts to ensure our wide reach. We seek to inform environmentalists, managers, consultants, agency workers and scientists seeking greater environmental, knowledge, understanding and action.
