The journal of Ethnobiology and Biodiversity Conservation (EBC) is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication dedicated to advancing the understanding of the intricate relationships between humans, biodiversity, and ecosystems. As a multidisciplinary journal, it bridges the fields of ethnobiology, conservation science, and environmental studies, fostering a deeper appreciation of how traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and ecological systems intersect to shape sustainable interactions with the natural world. Ethnobiology, as a discipline, explores the dynamic interplay between human societies and their environments, emphasizing the role of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in the management and conservation of biodiversity. Conservation science, on the other hand, seeks to address the pressing challenges of biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, and climate change through evidence-based research and innovative solutions. By integrating these perspectives, this journal provides a unique platform for researchers, practitioners, and indigenous communities to share insights, methodologies, and case studies that contribute to the preservation of biological and cultural diversity.
