Area of Science:

  • Ecology and Environmental Management
  • Conservation Biology
  • Sustainable Resource Management

Context:

  • The Ecosystem Approach (EA) is an integrated strategy for managing land, soil, and bio-resources, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human activities and ecosystems.
  • International organizations like CBD, IUCN, and WWF support EA, which recognizes humans as integral components of ecosystems.
  • China has made efforts in large-scale ecosystem management but faces challenges due to a lack of integrated scientific understanding and full utilization of local participation.

Purpose:

  • To introduce and implement the Ecosystem Approach (EA) in China for improved ecosystem management.
  • To address the lack of a complete understanding and integrated scientific theory in current ecosystem management practices.
  • To highlight the potential of EA in balancing conservation, sustainable use, and benefit-sharing of biological resources.

Summary:

  • EA provides a framework for managing ecosystems by focusing on biological organisms and integrating human diversity.
  • Decision V/6 of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD outlines twelve principles and five operational guidelines for EA.
  • Successful localized ecosystem management, like in Chinese fir plantations, contrasts with broader national challenges, underscoring the need for a comprehensive EA.

Impact:

  • Successful implementation of EA can lead to a better balance between conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit-sharing.
  • EA can enhance China's large-scale ecosystem management efforts by providing integrated scientific guidelines.
  • Increased understanding and application of EA principles can help overcome current challenges in national and regional ecosystem management.
