About Wild

Aims

Wild ( ISSN 3042-4526) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal specializing in natural systems and dynamics and interactions between primary and secondary environments/species, published quarterly online by MDPI.

Wild’s main objective is the publication of high-quality research with a focus on wild species and communities, primary habitats, renaturation processes, natural land, nature and human interactions and perceptions. The journal publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles), opinion and theoretical papers and short communications.

Wild deals with all aspects related to nature, including natural environments, renaturalization, restoration, wild species, ethical game, fishing, and other uses of natural resources. The journal also aims to highlight the traditions of Indigenous people that do not destroy primary habitats, integral protected areas, and the places and people symbolizing ecological ethics or (wild) nature protection and restoration. We aim to publish timely experimental and theoretical research results in a rapid and readily accessible manner. The journal strives to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical application by focusing on research studies as well as providing a platform for practitioners and land/protected area managers to share their experiences. There are no restrictions on the maximum length of the papers.
