The peer-reviewed, professional journal Természetvédelmi Közlemények will continue to welcome manuscripts in 2026.

The focus of the journal is on conservation issues in Hungary and other regions of the Carpathian Basin. The articles published in the volume will reach a wide professional audience in the Carpathian Basin thanks to free online publication. The journal thus provides an opportunity for researchers to communicate their results not only to the scientific community but also to colleagues working in the field of nature conservation, thus helping to make their results useful for conservation.

Our mission is also to make available the very valuable field experience of practitioners in the field, as this knowledge can contribute to the enrichment of national conservation knowledge by complementing the studies planned by professional researchers. We also welcome articles from early career professionals and PhD students.

Please note that from 2025 the journal will also accept manuscripts in English in addition to Hungarian, as long as they fit the Carpathian Basin focus of the journal!

There are four different sections in our journal where articles can be published:

Results of conservation biology research using scientific methods are welcome in our Scientific Research section.

Our section on Social Science in Conservation welcomes articles that have applied social science methods to research on the conservation of habitats, natural values, ecosystem services, including the exploration of traditional knowledge.

Our Lessons in Conservation Practice section mainly invites contributions from conservation practitioners on field surveys, results of interventions or problems in conservation practice. As these articles are different in nature from the description of research designed for scientific purposes, we have opened a separate section for them.

In our section Reviews of Books and Digital Materials, we welcome the presentation of Hungarian or foreign books related to the journal's theme, as well as the description of Internet sites and programmes (e.g. databases, electronic decision makers, smartphone applications, etc.) that can be used in nature conservation.

Starting this year, submissions will be accepted on an ongoing basis, meaning there is no deadline. Completed articles will be published on our website throughout the year. Those published by the beginning of December will be included in that year's volume. Articles completed after this date will also be published immediately, but will be included in the following year's volume.

We are accepting articles in English as well as Hungarian, provided that they are relevant to our Carpathian Basin focus.

Manuscripts should be submitted to termeszetvedelmi.kozlemenyek@gmail.com.
