The global conservation research community is coming together to recognise the problems the Corona pandemic is creating for some scientists and to find solutions. We are delighted to be part of the project Publication Partners and welcome submissions resulting from it. Publication Partners aims to help conservation scientists who face difficulties trying to complete a manuscript due to the Corona pandemic (e.g. single parents, parents with working partners, those with elderly parents or others in difficult circumstances) by matching them with potential helpers ( see here for details ).
