Focus and Scope
BIOSPECIESis a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to publishing research in biodiversity conservation, conservation policy, and sustainable use of natural resources—especially within tropical ecosystems. The journal is interdisciplinary, welcoming contributions that connect biological sciences with social, economic, political, and technological perspectives on conservation.
BIOSPECIES encourages submissions of original research articles, literature reviews, field reports, and case studies that offer strategic insights into biodiversity management and preservation at local, regional, and global scales. The journal also highlights innovative approaches such as bioinformatics, tropical biotechnology, and the role of indigenous knowledge in ecosystem restoration and sustainable development.
