Core Viewpoint - The construction of national parks in China has led to a steady improvement in biodiversity, with flagship species populations recovering and ecosystem diversity, stability, and sustainability increasing over the past decade since the initiation of the national park system reform [1][2]. Group 1: National Park Achievements - The establishment of the Sanjiangyuan National Park has significantly protected the source ecosystems of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang Rivers, with populations of Tibetan antelope, Tibetan gazelle, and wild donkey increasing, and grassland vegetation coverage improving by 8.6% [1]. - The Giant Panda National Park has integrated 73 natural reserves across Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu provinces, facilitating habitat connectivity for 13 local panda populations, resulting in a population increase from approximately 1,100 in the 1980s to about 1,900 [2]. - The Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park has established a modern monitoring system for wildlife migration, with the populations of Northeast tigers and leopards increasing from 27 and 42 to around 70 and 80, respectively [2]. - The Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park has seen the population of the critically endangered Hainan gibbon grow from 35 individuals in 5 groups to 42 individuals in 7 groups, marking it as the only gibbon population globally that is continuously increasing [2]. - The Wuyi Mountain National Park has integrated ecological protection efforts between Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, discovering new species and maintaining the population of the yellow-bellied pheasant at around 1,000 individuals [2]. Group 2: Future Directions - The national park system in China is transitioning into a new phase of systematic integration and comprehensive advancement, with plans to strengthen governance and implement biodiversity protection projects [3].
