Institute's journal "Life and nature": An overview of published papers in the field of nature conservation, from issue no. 52/1 (year 2000) to no. 75/1 (2025)

The journal "Life and Nature" is published to present scientific and professional papers and knowledge in the field of nature conservation, covering the following topics: protected areas, biodiversity, geodiversity, landscape diversity, ecosystem protection, management of natural resources, nature conservation and spatial planning, education and public involvement in nature conservation. Given that a list of published papers exists from 1950, i.e. the very beginning of the journal's publication, to 1999, what follows is an overview of the papers and authors who, from 2000 onwards, have covered a wide and diverse range of topics from this rich and multidisciplinary field. This overview testifies not only to the involvement of the Institute's experts, but also to the ongoing opening up of the Institute's journal for contributions of external authors. The journal is published twice a year. For a time, it was published under the title "Posebna izdanja" ("Special Editions"), but the name was soon changed back to "Zaštita prirode" ("Nature Conservation" and from issue 73/1 (2023) "Life and Nature"). It has a long tradition, and as of this year, it has been published for 75 years. Since 2000, the journal has also been available in electronic form on the Institute's website (https://zzps. RS/naša-izdanja/časopis-zaštita-prirode/), and from issue No. 75/1 it has been published bilingually - in Serbian and English.
