Conservation and Society 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, human-wildlife conflicts, decentralised conservation, conservation policy, 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, resource managers and media professionals. 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 in developing countries around the world.
 
Conservation and Society is the result of the sustained effort of unpaid editorial board members who determine policy and contribute their time and effort in taking the journal forward. The journal is temporarily published by the ‘Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment’ (ATREE), Bangalore till a society for the same is formed. ATREE publishes the journal on behalf of an informal alliance of natural and social scientists to promote interdisciplinary research in conservation and to foster communication among scientists, resource managers, educators and policy makers.
 
Conservation and Society is published four times a year in March, June, September and December in both hard copy and electronic formats.
