About
Dr. James W. Pearce-Higgins is a leading conservation scientist whose work bridges the gap between ecological research and practical biodiversity policy. His primary research areas include the impacts of climate change on bird populations, the effectiveness of agri-environment schemes, and the strategic identification of emerging threats to global conservation. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to horizon scanning, a proactive approach to conservation planning. As a key figure in the annual horizon scan for global conservation and biological diversity, his 2016 paper, "A 2017 Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation and Biological Diversity," has amassed over 130 citations, demonstrating its influence in shaping research and policy agendas. This work, produced by an international team of experts, systematically identifies novel issues—from technological developments to geopolitical shifts—that could significantly impact biodiversity. Dr. Pearce-Higgins’s ability to synthesize complex ecological data and forecast future challenges has made him a vital voice in conservation science, helping to ensure that policy and practice remain ahead of the curve in protecting our natural world.
