Editorial 2025
Dear readers, colleagues, friends,
You are getting into your hands the sixth annual special issue of the Ochrana přírody/Nature Conservation Journal. The 80th anniversary of the first issue of the journal is approaching and the world has changed dramatically in that time. Despite efforts to protect and conserve both terrestrial and marine natural ecosystems, there has been enormous damage to them. We have destroyed a third of all rainforests and degraded another one third. The planet’s human population has grown from 2.3 to 8 billion today. Despite the partial successes in nature conservation, the negative trend is clear and raises the question of whether our efforts are worthwhile.
