This is our ninth annual horizon scan to identify emerging issues that we believe could affect global biological diversity, natural capital and ecosystem services, and conservation efforts. Our diverse and international team, with expertise in horizon scanning, science communication, as well as conservation science, practice, and policy, reviewed 117 potential issues. We identified the 15 that may have the greatest positive or negative effects but are not yet well recognised by the global conservation community.

- Invertebrates like termites, ants, and beetles are super important in tropical rainforests because they help keep the ecosystem healthy and strong.
- Logging (cutting down trees) has harmed more than one-third of these forests, reducing the number of invertebrates by up to half, which affects how the forest works.
- Even though some other animals like small mammals and certain birds may increase after logging, the decline of important invertebrates shows that humans are changing how these rainforests operate.
