About
Dr. Marie Fox is a leading voice in conservation science, best known for her pioneering work in horizon scanning to identify emerging threats to global biodiversity. Her most impactful contribution, the highly cited "A 2017 Horizon Scan of Emerging Issues for Global Conservation and Biological Diversity" (2016, 132 citations), exemplifies her expertise in foresight methodology. As part of an international team, Fox helped design and execute a rigorous Delphi-like scoring process, distilling a vast array of expert consultations into 15 critical, novel issues. This work provides an essential early-warning system for policymakers and researchers, highlighting challenges before they become crises. Beyond this flagship scan, Fox’s research focuses on bridging the gap between scientific communication and conservation practice, ensuring that complex ecological data translates into actionable policy. Her achievements include shaping the methodology for annual horizon scans, a tool now widely adopted by conservation organizations worldwide. For students and researchers, Fox’s career demonstrates how structured foresight and interdisciplinary collaboration can proactively safeguard our planet’s biological heritage.
