摘要
Protected areas have long been considered a cornerstone of biodiversity conservation by policy-makers and the conservation community.Yet,despite ongoing efforts,many countries,including China,continue to face persistent challenges in effectively managing these areas.Here we examine how science-management partnerships,particularly those headed by Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS),have catalyzed governance reforms of protected areas in China.The integration of scientific research with policy action has enabled the establishment of a unified national park system,mitigating management inefficiencies and enhancing ecosystem resilience.We propose strategies for CAS to consolidate its leadership in this domain.These partnerships might offer global insights into evidence-based protected area management.
