Abstract: This second issue of APJEL in the 2020 volume features articles on environmental issues relevant to particular Asia states and to the Asia-Pacific region generally.The five articles in this issuebringing the total in the 2020 volume to eightfollow the thirteen in the 2019 volume, which concerned Australia, Australia and China, Bangladesh, Bangladesh and China, Indonesia, the Maldives, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the South China Sea region, and Thailand as well as a jurisprudential article relevant to the region.The first issue in the 2020 volume contained an article on anthropogenic noise levels and how these affect cetaceans; an article on environmental governance in the public interest in China; and an article on biopiracy in South-East Asia.It is clear that there is increasing scholarly interest in environmental law and policy in the Asian Pacific region.Our 2018 volume included articles on Australia, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Solomon Islands, and Thailand.Before that, our 2017 volume included articles on aspects of environmental law in Australia, China, India, Japan, and Rep. of Korea as well as on general issues affecting environmental governance in the Asia-Pacific region.Our firm beliefs are that APJEL is making a strong contribution toward advanced scholarship in the region; and that there is growing interest in publishing in this region.We welcome both submissions of general environmental relevance and submissions on specific, focused issues, as long as both are of relevance to Asian Pacific scholarship.APJEL's goal remains to publish analytical research on a broad range of environmental law issues across the Asia Pacific.The real core of quality scholarship is to be found in deep analysis of specific environmental law developments in specific jurisdictions, and the articles we seek to publish will always demonstrate this.2 OUR FUTURE PLANS APJEL continues to publish rigorous scholarship in environmental law in the Asia-Pacific region and the five articles in the second issue of the 2020 volume will, we believe, make a valuable contribution toward research and enhanced understanding.We invite further contributions toward future volumesin 2021 and for many future years.
