生物多樣性已經成為現代文明的一個重要范例，這是非常正確的。化學如何可能有助于理解生物多樣性?這本雜志存在的理由是揭示化學和生物多樣性之間的聯系，并展示化學如何有助于我們理解生物多樣性，最終目標是受益于自然并保護它。《化學與生物多樣性》旨在出版在分子和大分子水平上研究生物多樣性的所有方面的著作。

Biodiversity has become a blockbuster paradigm of modern civilization, and very rightly so. How can chemistry possibly contribute to the understanding of biodiversity? The raison d'etre of this journal is to reveal what links chemistry and biodiversity and to demonstrate how chemistry can contribute to our understanding of biodiversity with the ultimate goal to benefit from nature and to preserve it. Chemistry & Biodiversity is intended to publish work on all aspects of biodiversity studied at the molecular and macromolecular levels.
