“…The WPL is only guiding legislation, enforcement and prosecution is defined by different lower laws and enforced by various authorities. The fragmented and inconsistent enforcement hinders the effectiveness of the regulations ( Huang et al, 2020 ). For example, wild terrestrial animals are under the jurisdiction of forestry departments, while aquatic animals are under the agriculture departments ( Huang et al, 2020 ).…”

For example, wild terrestrial animals are under the jurisdiction of forestry departments, while aquatic animals are under the agriculture departments ( Huang et al, 2020 ). The definition of animal utilization and law enforcement mechanisms are drastically different between the two systems.…”

“…It is only possible to sustain biodiversity by simultaneously stopping wildlife consumption while promoting initiatives and awareness in biodiversity and habitat conservation. Many Chinese protected areas have porous boundaries, and enforcement against activities such as cattle grazing and extraction of herbal medicines are weak ( Huang et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Regarding park area, for instance, Wuyi Mountain, Shenongjia, and Qilianshan have each almost doubled in size [90]. The Giant Panda National Park aims to consolidate 81 individual protected areas to create a cohesive management structure [91]. These efforts indicate China's dedication to meeting internationally agreed-upon ecological standards of protected areas.…”

National parks have been adopted for over a century to enhance the protection of valued natural landscapes in countries worldwide. For decades, China has emphasized the importance of economic growth over ecological health to the detriment of its protected areas. After decades of environmental degradation, dramatic loss of biodiversity, and increasing pressure from the public to improve and protect natural landscapes, China’s central government recently proposed the establishment of a pilot national park system to address these issues. This study provides an overview of the development of selected conventional protected areas (CPAs) and the ten newly established pilot national parks (PNPs). A literature review was conducted to synthesize the significant findings from previous studies, and group workshops were conducted to integrate expert knowledge. A qualitative analysis was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot national park system. The results of this study reveal that the PNP system could be a potential solution to the two outstanding issues facing CPAs, namely the economic prioritization over social and ecological considerations that causes massive ecological degradation, and the conflicting, overlapping, and inconsistent administrative and institutional structures that result in serious inefficiencies and conflicts.
