This is our ninth annual horizon scan to identify emerging issues that we believe could affect global biological diversity, natural capital and ecosystem services, and conservation efforts. Our diverse and international team, with expertise in horizon scanning, science communication, as well as conservation science, practice, and policy, reviewed 117 potential issues. We identified the 15 that may have the greatest positive or negative effects but are not yet well recognised by the global conservation community. Themes among these topics include new mechanisms driving the emergence and geographic expansion of diseases, innovative biotechnologies, reassessments of global change, and the development of strategic infrastructure to facilitate global economic priorities.

这是我们第九次年度视野扫描，以确定我们认为可能影响全球生物多样性，自然资本和生态系统服务以及保护工作的新出现问题。我们多元化的国际团队在视野扫描，科学传播以及保护科学，实践和政策方面拥有专业知识，审查了117个潜在问题。我们确定了可能产生最大正面或负面影响但尚未得到全球保护界高度认可的15种动物。这些主题的主题包括驱动疾病出现和地理扩展的新机制，创新生物技术，全球变化的重新评估以及战略基础设施的发展，以促进全球经济优先发展。
