Conservation Letters is a scientific journal publishing empirical and theoretical research with immediate implications for the conservation of biological diversity worldwide. The journal encourages interdisciplinary submissions, drawing upon the biological and social sciences, which are aimed at advancing pragmatic conservation goals. Manuscripts will be published on a rapid communications schedule and therefore should be current and topical. 

Authors are asked to explain how their research will be applied either on-the-ground or in terms of policy development. Research articles should clearly articulate the significance of their findings for conservation policy and practice.

Three types of articles 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
