Current Situation and Development Strategies of Natural Protected Areas in Guizhou Province
Guizhou Province is striving to build a natural protected areas system with rich and diverse types and karst mountain characteristics around the ecological pattern of"four mountains and eight wa-ters".As of the end of 2021,there were a total of 314 natural protected areas managed by the forestry department,with a total area of 456.88 hm2,accounting for 12.97%of the total land area in the prov-ince.This paper analyzed the development problems of natural protected areas,such as the management system not being rationalized,the proportion of area being relatively low,the spatial layout not being en-tirely reasonable,the optimization and adjustment not meeting expectations,and the lack of comprehen-sive utilization research.Therefore,this paper proposed to gradually streamline the institutional mecha-nisms,actively create national parks,steadily promote optimization and integration,properly handle the re-lationship between protection and development,and actively explore value research.
