Aims

The primary aim of Biodiversity Reports is to serve as an international platform for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research that advances scientific understanding of biological diversity and supports effective conservation, sustainable use, and management of biodiversity at local, regional, and global scales. The journal seeks to promote scientific excellence, transparency, and interdisciplinary collaboration in biodiversity and ecological sciences.

Biodiversity Reports encourages original and innovative research that addresses fundamental and applied questions related to biodiversity patterns, ecological processes, conservation challenges, and environmental change. The journal also aims to bridge the gap between science, policy, and practice by publishing research that is relevant to conservation planning, environmental management, and biodiversity-related decision-making.
