About Us

Conservation is an independent science magazine dedicated to changing the conversation about what it means to be “green.” It reaches beyond the familiar environmental obituary (mass extinction, overpopulation, resource depletion) and features success stories about smart science and technological solutions to the big environmental problems of our time. In every issue, writers, thinkers, and artists draw on science, engineering, business, architecture, and design to peer ahead to a sustainable future. From underwater robots that spy on whales to the world’s first industrial, indoor farm to the connection between divorce rates and environmental degradation in China, Conservation stories connect science and data with everyday human experience.

Over the past 12 years, Conservation has built a reputation for editorial and design excellence. Conservation is a consistent journalism award-winner and attracts world-class thinkers, writers, and illustrators from The Economist, The New York Times, NPR, Wired, and The Atlantic. Conservation articles have been picked up by Discovery Channel, Utne Reader, Wilson Quarterly, and featured in Best American Science and Nature Writing.
