Summary
This article critiques global horizon scanning initiatives in conservation, arguing they suffer from narrow geographic and epistemic perspectives that overrepresent the Global North. The authors contend that current levels of inclusion are insufficient and merely symbolic, and they call for wider participatory approaches that integrate diverse knowledge systems into conservation priority setting. The piece provides constructive insights for designing more equitable and representative conservation frameworks.
