npj Biodiversity

npj Biodiversity is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive research community, addressing the fragmentation and biases in biodiversity science. By promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and recognizing underrepresented voices, the journal aims to enhance global understanding of biodiversity.

Biodiversity research faces the challenge of addressing the rapid environmental changes and species declines due to human activities with scarce data and pervasive biases that hinder a comprehensive understanding of natural processes. npj Biodiversity endeavors to address these issues by promoting a more inclusive and interdisciplinary approach to biodiversity research, integrating high-quality research in ecology and evolution, with perspectives from social scientists, environmental economists, indigenous peoples, and local communities to find balanced solutions for biodiversity conservation and human needs.
