Twenty years of Pacific Conservation Biology.

Abstract

THIS issue marks the completion of 20 years of publication of Pacific Conservation Biology. Writing in the first issue, Foundation Editor Craig Moritz highlighted the ‘profound and urgent problems in conservation and land management’ in the Pacific region, as well as ‘the inadequate communication among research biologists, conservation managers and administrators.’ He saw PCB as promoting this badly needed communication regarding conservation issues in the region, as well as highlighting the ‘relevance and management implications of the research.’ He invited researchers and managers to ‘enjoy it, use it and be part of it!’
