摘要

Biodiversity is abundant in China,but human activities have endangered many species,reducing numbers to the brink of extinction [1].The Chinese government has increased financial funding for various conservation projects over the past decade,but although every biological conservation study and survey on wild animals provides essential and important scientific data,the results have been inadequate for the Chinese government to draw up effective conservation policies.To address this situation,the Chinese Science Bulletin,as the flagship magazine in China,published a Special Topic on Conservation Biology of Endangered Wildlife [2-13] in August 2011 (via a rapid publication avenue of ‘quick review,quick revision,and quick publication').The published articles provided relevant results enabling the Chinese government to design conservation strategies.The Special Topic also attracted more scholars to publish their findings on the Special Topic/Issue platform of the Chinese Science Bulletin.
