This community initially identified 187 issues, which were subsequently triaged to 15 horizon issues by a group of 33 experts using a modified Delphi technique. Eighty-eight individuals participated, representing a broad community of academics, government and nongovernment organizations, and foundations, including policymakers and managers of protected and conserved areas.

We present the results of a horizon scan of issues likely to impact management of Canadian protected and conserved areas over the next 5–10 years. Horizon scanning is increasingly used in conservation to systematically explore emerging policy and management issues.
