Biological Conservation (BC)

Biological Conservation is a prestigious monthly scientific journal that has been in publication since 1968 and is published by Elsevier BV. It focuses on advancing the scientific understanding and practical application of conservation principles to protect biodiversity and ecosystem function worldwide. The journal features rigorous, peer‑reviewed research across a broad spectrum of topics including species extinction risk assessments, habitat fragmentation and connectivity, invasive species dynamics, conservation genetics, landscape and reserve design, restoration ecology, effects of global change, socio‑ecological dimensions of conservation, and policy and management strategies. The emphasis is on research that not only contributes to fundamental ecological knowledge but also informs conservation policy, natural resource management, and practical decision‑making at local, regional and global scales. Authors from diverse geographic and disciplinary backgrounds contribute articles that span terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems, with a commitment to scholarly excellence and relevance to both academic researchers and conservation practitioners. As an affiliate of the Society for Conservation Biology, Biological Conservation plays a significant role in shaping contemporary conservation science and supports interdisciplinary contributions that address real‑world biodiversity challenges.
