Jurnal Penelitian Kehutanan, abbreviated as JPK Wallaceae, is an open-access peer-reviewed journal assessed according to international publication standards. This journal is published by the Forestry Faculty of Hasanuddin University, both online and in print, twice a year. We invite scholarly contributions on conservation issues in the biogeographical region of Wallacea, but conservation issues from other parts of the world are also welcome. Wallacea is a strategic biogeographical region located between two continents, Asia and Australia, so the biodiversity in this region is extremely unique and specific, characterized by a high level of endemism. However, on the other hand, the conservation of biological resources in this region is under threat from overcrowding and an increasing population. Various approaches need to be continuously pursued in the context of managing existing biological resources to ensure their sustainable availability for the welfare of the people in this region.

JPK Wallacea promotes scientific research, both theoretical and applied, making a clear conceptual and methodological contribution to international literature in the field of conservation. This may include, but not be limited to, various aspects of conservation such as biodiversity, ecology, biogeography, environmental science, planning, management, sociology, anthropology, law, economics, policies, and others.

Our International Editorial Board meets the gap in managing biodiversity resources and promoting interdisciplinary work in supporting sustainable development. Efforts are currently prioritized to improve the quality of research in addition to support for capacity building initiatives in the Wallaceae region, and gradually expanded to other parts of the world. JPK Wallacea also allows publishing special issues and special sections upon request. Specific problems will enable us to publish papers focusing on certain themes, often related to topics that appear or are less examined.
