Do you enjoy the challenge of communicating complex scientific ideas and conservation issues to the general public? Current Conservation is looking for submissions of reader-friendly summaries of recently published research papers in conservation science!
Current Conservation is a quarterly magazine that communicates conservation science in an accessible manner to a wide audience. Our magazine combines art and science to communicate the latest in research concepts and news from both the natural and social science facets of conservation, encompassing ecology, wildlife biology, conservation biology, environmental history, anthropology and sociology, ecological economics, and related fields of research.
Your summary (~ 250-300 words) should be written in a simple jargon-free way that conveys the nuances of the paper, but at the same time is easy and fun to read. You can find some examples here.
Selected summaries will be featured in Current Conservation’s website or magazine.
Submissions are welcome year-round and should be sent to [email protected]. For more information on Current Conservation’s upcoming themes, keep checking our Facebook and Twitter pages.
Conflict of interest declaration: Be warned: this is a not-so-subtle attempt to recruit writers for Current Conservation!
