The African Journal of Biodiversity Conservation (AJBC) an open-access journal published by AOSIS, is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary online journal that covers all aspects of nature conservation in Africa. AJBC publishes regular papers from all disciplines interested in basic and applied conservation ecology, as well as general nature conservation at various spatial, temporal, and evolutionary scales, ranging from populations to ecosystems, and from microorganisms and fungi to higher plants (Botany) and animals (Zoology). The aims of this journal are devoted to protecting, restoring and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, sustainable forest management, combatting desertification, regulating climate, and halting and reversing land degradation and biodiversity loss. All publications that show critical linkages between nature and human wellbeing with a perspective from or on Africa will be considered. In addition, AJBC seeks to serve as a platform for the dissemination of ideas on best conservation practices, opinion pieces, shared experiences, critical analyses, and comprehensive reviews to encourage cooperation between all role-players from within and outside Africa.
