Abstract
In a recent opinion article, Bonebrake et al. [1] promote the implementation of conservation strategies that integrate multiple threats to biodiversity acting at different timescales, including horizon threats such as climate change. They call into question the usefulness of studies featuring climate change as less urgent than other threats. They argue that showcasing the immediate impact of some threats to downplay the importance of climate change contributes to compartmentalising our understanding of environmental pressures.
