About the Journal |
|
Conservation and Society (www.conservationandsociety.org) is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary open access journal dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of conservation. The journal draws on both natural and social sciences and covers basic and applied research in areas including but not restricted to political ecology, environmental history, anthropology and sociology, human ecology, conservation policy and governance, human-wildlife conflicts, ecosystem structure and functioning, systematics, community and species ecology, behavioural ecology, landscape ecology, restoration ecology and conservation biology.
The journal publishes submitted and commissioned articles, debates and discussions, editorials, book reviews, comments and notes, and reader feedback. Conservation and Society is of interest to academics, researchers, teachers, naturalists, policy makers, planners and resource managers. It aims to serve as a bridge between conservation practitioners from a wide array of disciplines and therefore seeks to disseminate work presented in an integrative and simple manner that is accessible to individuals from disciplines ranging from the natural and social sciences to the humanities. The journal accepts articles addressing conservation issues the world over, with a focus on developing countries.
The journal has published several special sections in the last few years, including on: Re-placing Nature (Guest Editor: Ben Campbell), Conservation in Madagascar (Guest Editor: Jeffrey Kaufmann) Neoliberal Conservation (Guest Editors: Igoe and Brockington), Institutional Choice and Recognition in the Formation and Consolidation of Local Democracy (Ribot, Chattre, and Lankina), and an ongoing debate on relocation(Guest Editors: Mahesh Rangarajan and Ghazala Shahabuddin).
