About
Ben Connor is a leading voice in conservation science, with a focus on horizon scanning and the proactive identification of emerging threats to global biodiversity. His most impactful work, the 2017 Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation and Biological Diversity, has garnered 132 citations and stands as a landmark in strategic environmental foresight. As part of an international team, Connor helped pioneer a rigorous Delphi-like scoring process to distill critical, often overlooked issues from widespread expert consultation—a methodology that has since become a gold standard in the field. This work, the eighth in an influential annual series, directly informs policy and conservation practice by anticipating challenges before they become crises. Beyond this scan, Connor’s research bridges science communication and practical conservation, ensuring that complex ecological data translates into actionable strategies. His contributions have shaped how researchers and policymakers think about long-term biological diversity, making him a pivotal figure in the effort to safeguard our planet’s future.
