Abstract
With China's natural reserves as the research object, this paper makes an investigation on the legal system (current laws, regulations, other relevant laws and international treaties) and the management system (history, classification, organization, personnel, funds, main management work), and provides exercisable basic data for the conservation management of protected areas.
First of all, this paper analyzes the legal system. According to the legal regulations of article 24 and article 26 of Constitution of the People's Republic of China (1954), several laws have been enacted in succession, such as Environment Law (1989) which is the basic law of environmental protection, Regulations of Natural Reserves (1994) which is the basic law of natural reserves, Land Management Methods of Natural Reserves(1995) which is a law made to strengthen the management of land utilization of natural reserves, and the laws and regulations related to natural reserves of all provinces, cities and counties.
The first natural reserve of China is Guangdong Dinghu Mountain Natural Reserve established in 1956. By the end of 2011, 2640 natural reserves (including 335 national natural reserves) have been established throughout the country with a total area of 149.71 million hectares which occupies about 15% of national territorial area. The Ministry of Environmental Protection is an integrated management department of natural reserves. The competent departments include the Ministry of Forestry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Living Buildings and the Academy of science. At the same time, the competent departments implement coordinated management with the local people's government. The administrative staff are civil servants; The jurisdiction is in the charge of Public Security Bureau(PSB); The national finance and the income of natural reserves are the main financial resources. The landownership is national ownership or collective ownership. Except for the public security staff, a natural reserve is equipped with 11~51 staff. Visitors are allowed to enter into the natural reserves by tickets or freely. In 1991, the State Council set up the system of examination and approval for national natural reserves. In 1999, the "Review Committee Organization and Working System of National Natural Reserves" was established.
The development process of China's natural reserves is divided into the following five phases. In the initial phase (1956-1965), about 20 natural reserves were established; In the lag phase (1966-1978), a part of the natural reserves were destroyed under the influence of the Great Cultural Revolution; In the development phase (1979-1998), a normative legal system began to appear after the reform and opening up; In the leap phase (1999-2006), the number and areas of natural reserves increased dramatically; In the stable phase (since 2007), the protection and restoration of the ecological environment has been implemented, and the supervision and management has been strengthened.
China has established natural reserves of national level, provincial level, municipal level and county level according to law. According to the resource categories, natural reserves can be divided into natural ecosystem reserves, wildlife reserves, and natural relic reserves which can be redivided into nine categories.
The Ministry of Forestry is in charge of 1958 natural reserves which accounts for 74.2% of the total natural reserves in China. Among them, there are 251(74.9)national natural reserves which are more than those national natural reserves in the charge of any other department. Thus it can be seen that the Ministry of Environmental Protection is an integrated management department. However, the Ministry of Forestry is in charge of the largest number of natural reserves.
In China, there are 1384 natural reserves (52.4%) which have set up management institutions. 1702 natural reserves (64.47%) are equipped with management staff with a higher ratio than the natural reserves which have set up management institutions. On average, a natural reserve is equipped with 23 management staff and a national natural reserve is equipped with 51 management staff. Thus it can be seen that the higher level of natural reserve is, the more management staff are provided. The ratio of administrative staff and technical staff is about 3:1.
In the 1990s, China's natural reserves began to try out the small-scale investment of "community co-management mode". Since 1995, the pilot projects in five provinces have been launched with the support of foreign funds. In 2004, the Central Ministry of Finance passed the "eco-compensation fund" system, providing fund support for the sustainable development of natural reserves.
The largest fund sources of China's natural reserves are provided by the central or the local government. In 2005, the fund sources of natural reserves in the charge of the Ministry of Forestry consisted of central finance, local finance, market economic income, social funds, etc, which amounted to a total of 514.5 million yuan. From the perspective of simple calculation, a natural reserve can obtain a budget of 262,768 yuan. From the perspective of academic research conclusions, per square kilometer of a natural reserve can obtain a budget of 337-718 yuan. The shortage of funds is a big problem needing to be solved urgently in the future.
Through studying the legal system and the management system of China's natural reserves, this paper provides basic data for the conservation management of protected areas. In China, laws and management materials about natural reserves are very few, and the problem analysis of the protected areas is more or less insufficient. At present, there are also many issues such as the legislation of natural reserves which need to be solved urgently. Through the phasic research on the natural reserves in China, it is expected that China can have more effective management over the protected areas in future.
