Abstract:
The establishment of national park system is a milestone initiative of the central government for comprehensively deepening reforms and promoting ecological civilization construction. Since the launch of national park system pilot in 2015, remarkable achievements have been witnessed in multiple aspects, such as management system establishment, protection intensity, scientific and technological support, funding investment, and social participation. However, constructing a unified, standardized and efficient national park system with China′s characteristics is a long-term, arduous and complex systematic project. Currently, difficulties and problems still exist in overall coordination mechanisms, funding guarantee mechanisms, the balance between protection and development, spatial scope, and talent team building. Meanwhile, the release of the "Spatial Layout Plan for National Parks" has rendered the research on the reform of the national park system especially urgent. By summarizing the national park construction experiences both domestically and internationally, this article analyzes the existing issues in the construction of China′s national park system and puts forward corresponding countermeasures and suggestions, aiming to solve the difficulties and issues in the construction of the national park system, enhance the management effectiveness of national parks, promote the value transformation of ecosystem products, and establish national parks as models of harmony between humans and nature in China.
