Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (also known as the Anthropocene), ecosystems have been widely affected by anthropogenic activities and these impacts have been exceptionally diverse, from those on a global scale derived from climate change, to others of a varied nature generated at local scales. Both lead to serious environmental problems such as the loss of biodiversity or the alteration of ecosystems and understanding these ecological problems is a key concern for conservation purposes, being essential to research on these threats, which in turn enables the development of adequate management plans. The implementation of effective management interventions that promote ecological integrity is based primarily on a deep understanding of how biotas and ecosystems react to multiple stress factors. Under this conservation paradigm, it is necessary to implement a sustainable model in which the three aspects of sustainable development fit together to allow the conservation of our planet, promote social equity and develop human societies. Papers submitted to this Special Issue of Sustainability must be original contributions focused on (genetic, biotic and landscape) biodiversity and the conservation biology of species and ecosystems. This includes all aspects related to ecosystem restoration and all issues related to ecosystem sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
