Aims and Scope
AIM
Celebes Biodiversitas: Jurnal Sains dan Pendidikan Biologi publishes original research articles, review papers, and scientific reports that advance knowledge in biological sciences and biology education, particularly within tropical and biodiversity-rich regions. The journal aims to disseminate high-quality scientific knowledge that contributes to the understanding of biological diversity, biological processes, and innovative teaching and learning in biology at local, regional, and global scales.
Given the rich biodiversity of the Celebes (Sulawesi) region as part of Wallacea, the journal prioritizes studies that explore biological diversity, ecological processes, and effective biology education practices. The journal welcomes contributions that provide significant scientific insights, methodological innovation, and practical applications in both biological research and biology education.
