Abstract:

After the 60 years' development,China have achieved remarkable improvement in nature protected area.Over 12 000 protected areas cover nearly 18% of mainland in China.Due to limitation of organization,protected area system has been hampered by overlapping between each nature reserve and confliction of management goals.In this paper,we collected data to describe and analyze the development of protected area system in the world.A framework mainly based on protection effectiveness was designed for protected area system.In the framework,protected areas are classified into six categories: Category A—national parks,Category B—strict conservation areas,Category C—species and its habitats,Category D—natural landscapes,Category E—ecological functions and resource management areas,Category F—small protected area.National parks focus on maintaining ecology system and cover most management goals.It is reasonable that national parks should become one of the most important parts for protected area system in China.

Key words: protected area, national park, category system, management objective, protection and management effectiveness
