The establishment of national park system: A new milestone for the field of nature conservation in China

Abstract

National park is one of the most significant natural protected areas. It takes ecological environment, natural resources protection and moderate tourism development as the basic strategy, and realizes effective protection in a large range through moderate development in a small scope. It not only eliminates the development and utilization methods that contradict the protection objectives, but also provides opportunities and places for tourism, scientific research, education and entertainment for the public. It is an effective protection and management mode to deal with the relationship between ecological environment protection and resource development and utilization. China's National Park System is a milestone in the field of natural protected areas. It is necessary to study the path to build China's National Park System. This paper has explored the connotation of China's National Park, provided an overview of China National Park System Pilot Project, and analyzed the progress of establishing China's National Park System. It has been concluded that the ten national park system pilot areas have made much progress in the aspects of manage system, operation mechanism, natural ecosystem protection and restoration, property rights of natural resources assets, and community participation.
