Spatial Analysis of Ecological Corridors in Giant Panda National Park Based on GIS

Abstract

As one of the national park pilot areas, the main goal of The Giant Panda National Park is to protect the authenticity and integrity of the natural ecosystem which is centered on the giant panda. Because of the large scope of national parks, it is necessary to plan ecological corridors reasonably to protect the integrity and authenticity of the ecological environment. Based on the GIS system, this paper analyzes the ecological environment of giant pandas living in The Giant Panda National Park and processes the information from the spatial scale. Using the cost-distance analysis tool to analyze the corridors with the method of least cost, 12 ecological corridors within the research scope were accumulated. An ecological corridor model planning and construction with the purpose of the giant pandas have been proposed, and the writer also discusses how to promote the construction of ecological corridors when developing Ecotourism at the same time in the national park. Then point out the management of ecological corridors of The Giant Panda National Park.
