Abstract:

The integration and optimization for natural protected areas are important tasks for the construction of scientific and reasonable natural protected areas system and ecological civilization in the new era. According to ‘Guidelines on the establishment of a natural protected areas system dominated by national parks’,we determined the aims,objects,tasks and principles of integration and optimization for natural protected areas in China. At the same time,rules about system transformation,integration,optimization and division,as well as paths along planning,confirmation and practice had been refined for the integration and optimization of natural protected areas. In addition,we developed management styles by classification and division,and support systems of organization,team,capital and technology for natural protected areas after the integration and optimization. In conclusion,our study aimed to provide theoretical foundation and technical guidance for integration and optimization for natural protected areas,establish an integrated,standardized,and effective system with Chinese characteristics,so as to support and promote construction and management of natural protected areas.

Key words: natural protected areas, national park, nature reserve, nature park, integration and optimization
