PARKS is the premier peer-reviewed journal dedicated to protected areas and conservation. Published by the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), PARKS provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share knowledge, best practices, and innovative approaches to protected area management.

Since its establishment, PARKS has been at the forefront of conservation science, publishing cutting-edge research, case studies, reviews, and perspectives from leading experts worldwide. The journal explores the critical role that protected and conserved areas play in biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, sustainable development, and human well-being.

Our mission is to build knowledge and promote best practices for protected and conserved areas, fostering collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and communities working across diverse ecosystems and cultural contexts. PARKS serves as a vital resource for the global conservation community, addressing the pressing challenges of our time.
