About
Dr. Abigail Entwistle is a leading voice in conservation science, best known for her work in horizon scanning and strategic conservation planning. Her most cited paper, the 2017 Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation and Biological Diversity (132 citations), exemplifies her pioneering role in identifying novel threats and opportunities before they become mainstream. As part of an international team, she helped refine a Delphi-like scoring process to pinpoint the 15 most critical emerging issues, a methodology that has become a cornerstone for proactive conservation policy. Beyond horizon scanning, Entwistle’s research focuses on bridging the gap between scientific evidence and on-the-ground conservation action, particularly for lesser-known species and ecosystems. Her contributions have directly informed global conservation strategies, helping organizations prioritize resources in a rapidly changing world. With a career dedicated to translating complex ecological data into actionable insights, Entwistle’s work ensures that conservation remains adaptive, forward-looking, and impactful. Her ability to synthesize diverse expert knowledge continues to shape how the field anticipates and responds to biodiversity challenges.
