Transforming Protected Area Management in China.
Abstract
We discuss institutional reforms to China's protected area management. Currently (as
elsewhere), protected areas suffer fragmented management, lack of a comprehensive
classification, inadequate coverage of biodiversity and ecosystem services, and divided,
inconsistent legislation. We recommend establishing a new system of protected area
management that can address past difficulties by using ongoing institutional reforms
as unprecedented opportunities.

be done to prevent them. His research covers the reasons why species become extinct,
how fast they do so, the global patterns of habitat loss and species extinction and,
importantly, the management consequences of this research. Pimm received his BSc degree
from Oxford University in 1971 and his Ph.D. from New Mexico State University in 1974.
