Submit your manuscript

Join the groundbreaking authors of Conservation Letters today by submitting a manuscript. The journal welcomes current and topical submissions across the biological and social sciences − especially interdisciplinary submissions − that advance pragmatic conservation goals as well as scientific understanding. Three types of article are published in Conservation Letters:

• Letters: novel findings with high relevance for practice or policy

• Mini-Reviews: overviews of emerging subjects that merit urgent coverage or succinct syntheses of important topics that are rarely encountered in the mainstream literature

• Policy Perspectives: brief essays for a general audience on issues related to conservation and society

Conservation Letters welcomes manuscripts in all biomes (marine, terrestrial, and freshwater), ecosystems, and cultural settings, and will strive for balanced coverage of each. Send us your manuscript!
