中国植物园现状及未来发展策略

中国植物园已有百余年发展历史,其大规模建设始于20世纪50年代——以中国科学院为龙头开始了现代植物园建设。迄今,我国植物园总数达162家,已步入快速建设和稳步发展阶段。我国植物园为中国植物科学研究、资源利用、多样性保护及环境教育作出了重要贡献,已发展成为国际植物园体系的中坚力量和发展主流。为应对人类活动对生态系统的不利影响,植物园将扮演更为重要的社会角色。中国植物园应及时调整发展战略,以提升植物保护、科学研究、环境教育和资源利用等基本功能为前提,从国家层面强化植物园体系的整体协同发展,加强关键地区植物保护,促进"一带一路"绿色发展,为可持续发展服务。

Status and Future Strategies of Chinese Botanical Gardens

Chinese botanical gardens have a history of more than 100 years, but large-scale construction began in the 1950s with the establishment of modern botanical gardens led by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Currently there are 162 gardens in China, which have entered the stage of rapid construction and steady development. Chinese botanical gardens have made great contributions to native plant conservation, sustainable utilization, scientific research and environmental education in China, and have become the backbone and part of mainstream of international botanical garden community. To cope with negative effects of human disturbance on ecosystem, botanical gardens will play a more important social role; thus, the Chinese botanical gardens should adjust their developmental strategies to improve creational practices, national integrative development, to propose new initiatives in key areas and to develop national botanical garden system, so as to meet the conservation goals, sustainable developmental goals and support the green Belt and Road Initiative.
