Integrative Conservation Webinar Series: Achieving zero extinction for land plants

Despite the importance of plants for people and the threats to their future, plant conservation receives far less support than vertebrate conservation. Plants are much cheaper and easier to conserve than animals, but, although there are no technical reasons why any plant species should become extinct, inadequate funding and the shortage of skilled people has created barriers to their conservation. These barriers include the incomplete inventory, the low proportion of species with conservation status assessments, partial online data accessibility, varied data quality, and insufficient investment in both in and ex situ conservation. Machine learning, citizen science, and new technologies could mitigate some of these problems, but we need to set national and global targets of zero plant extinction to attract greater support.

Open the Black Box: Meet Journal Editors

Integrative Conservation, published by XTBG and Wiley, is a fully open access and interdisciplinary journal encompassing a wide range of perspectives and scholarly disciplines relevant to our understanding and conservation of biodiversity.
In this webinar, the Editors-in-Chief of the journals Integrative Zoology, Plant Diversity and Integrative Conservation will discuss academic publishing from an editor’s perspective.
The editors will introduce their journals, discuss selecting the right journal, give advice on writing papers and responding to reviewers’ criticisms, and highlight common pitfalls to avoid. They will also discuss the importance of developing and strengthening Chinese and Asian academic journals, and how to run a successful journal that provides value to the scientific community. All this represents a platform for the audience to gain answers to questions about their journals.
