Special Issue on

Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration

Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration focuses on protecting biological diversity and restoring degraded ecosystems to maintain ecological integrity, resilience, and sustainability. It encompasses the study and management of species, habitats, and ecological processes, addressing threats such as habitat loss, climate change, pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation of natural resources. By integrating knowledge from ecology, conservation biology, environmental science, geography, and resource management, this area develops strategies for preserving endangered species, enhancing ecosystem services, and promoting the recovery of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments. Research in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration plays a critical role in supporting sustainable development, mitigating environmental degradation, and safeguarding natural systems for future generations.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Conservation biology
• Ecosystem restoration
• Wildlife conservation
• Habitat management
• Species diversity studies
• Endangered species protection
• Restoration ecology
• Landscape ecology
• Forest ecosystem conservation
• Wetland restoration
• Marine biodiversity conservation
• Freshwater ecosystem management
• Invasive species control
• Ecosystem services assessment
• Protected area management
• Climate adaptation and biodiversity conservation

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration” should be selected during your submission.
