Résumé
Applying physiological tools, knowledge and concepts to understand conservation problems (i.e. conservation physiology)
hasbecome commonplace andconfers an ability to understandmechanisticprocesses, developpredictivemodels andidentify
cause-and-effect relationships. Conservation physiology is making contributions to conservation solutions; the number of
‘success stories’ is growing, but there remain unexplored opportunities for which conservation physiology shows immense promise and has the potential to contribute to major advances in protecting and restoring biodiversity. Here, we consider
howconservation physiology has evolvedwith a focus on reframing the discipline to bemore inclusive and integrative.Using a
‘horizon scan’,we further exploreways inwhich conservation physiology can bemore relevant to pressing conservation issues
of today (e.g. addressing the Sustainable Development Goals; delivering science to support the UN Decade on Ecosystem
Restoration), aswell as more forward-looking to inform emerging issues and policies for tomorrow. Our horizon scan provides
evidence that, as the discipline of conservation physiology continues to mature, it provides a wealth of opportunities to
promote integration, inclusivity and forward-thinking goals that contribute to achieving conservation gains. To advance
environmentalmanagement andecosystemrestoration,weneedto ensure that theunderlyingscience (suchas thatgenerated
by conservation physiology) is relevant with accompanyingmessaging that is straightforward and accessible to end users.
