Information about Conservation Biology

"The discipline of conservation biology defines the scope of the journal, but it is also
true that the journal has played an influential role in defining conservation biology."

- Stanley A. Temple, SCB President 1991-1993

Inaugurated in 1987, the journal, Conservation Biology was originally developed to provide a global voice for an emerging discipline. It quickly became the most important journal dealing with the topic of biological diversity. The journal continues to publish groundbreaking scientific papers on topics such as population ecology and genetics, ecosystem management, freshwater and marine conservation, landscape ecology, and the many human dimensions of conservation and is the most frequently cited conservation journal in the world.

In concert with the larger goals of the Society for Conservation Biology, the journal promotes the highest standards of quality and ethics in the activity of conservation research and encourages the communication of results to facilitate their application in conservation decision-making. With provocative essays and editorials, regular topical reviews, practical approaches to conservation, and the publication of original research, Conservation Biology remains instrumental in defining the key issues contributing to the study and practice of conservation.
