“…The approach is to calculate agricultural eco-efficiency by region, province, and year [25,26], to evaluate the potential of agricultural carbon emission reduction in each region, and explore the reasons for the loss of agricultural eco-efficiency in different regions by combining redundant indicators. This includes the spatial spillover effects and characterization of the spatial characteristics to explore the improvement path of regional agricultural eco-efficiency [27][28][29]. The results show that in the past few decades, China's agricultural eco-efficiency has shown a fluctuating upward trend, with significant regional differences and serious labor redundancy.…”

Carbon peaking, carbon neutrality goals and food security are the basis of sustainable development, and exploring the coordination relationship between China’s agricultural eco-efficiency and food security system has a major significance for the implementation of relevant strategies. This paper is based on collaboration research on the synergistic relationship between agricultural eco-efficiency and food security systems using methods such as entropy weight method, coupling coordination model, spatial autocorrelation model, etc., revealing the evolution-driven mechanism of the coupling coordination degree. This study found that a higher level of coupling coordination always occurs in those areas with high standard farmland construction and large grain production scale, while economically developed areas appear to have a lower overall coordination level limited by endowment constraints and division of labor in development planning. It shows a positive spatial correlation in terms of geographical distance between agricultural eco-efficiency and food security, and the positive spillover effect gradually increases but is not strong overall. China should combine regional resource endowment and development planning, pay attention to the improvement of large-scale and standardized agricultural production, continue to strengthen the development of clean agricultural production, and achieve food security under the constraints of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

Giant panda tourism is famous for promoting tourists’ travel to giant panda nature reserves. Different viewpoints have always existed regarding giant panda tourism, and the negative impact on the behavior and habitat of giant pandas has also been the subject of many researchers. A theoretical framework was proposed based on Extended Theory of Planned Behavior. SEM was used to test the hypotheses by AMOS28.0. The respondents of the study are tourists who travelled to Wolong National Nature Reserve aiming to watching giant pandas spanning from August 2023 to October 2023. 302 valid questionnaires were collected by face-to-face survey using a simple random sampling. All hypotheses were supported by testing. Cognition negative affects attitude of tourist disturbance toward giant pandas. Attitude positively affects tourist disturbance intentions toward giant pandas. Subjective norm positively affects tourist disturbance intentions toward giant pandas. Perceived behavioral control positively affects tourist disturbance intentions toward giant pandas. There exists a sequential relationship among cognition, attitude, and intention. Attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control have a significant positive influence on tourist disturbance intentions directly. The results of this study can provide new directions to take new measures for tourism managers, producing a positive role in promoting the development of giant panda tourism.

“…This finding also echoes previous studies. In recent years the implementation of ecological restoration projects has largely promoted the transfer of rural to urban populations, reduced the rural population in mountainous areas to a certain extent, contributing to restoration of giant panda habitats (Zhang et al, 2018;Li et al, 2019;Han et al, 2022;Li and Song, 2022).…”

“…Most of the previous related researches have been carried out only in natural reserves (Liu et al, 1999). Some studies assessed habitat quality dynamics and effectiveness of natural reserves based on changes in land use, vegetation coverage or socioeconomic statistics (Linderman et al, 2005;Li and Song, 2022;Chen et al, 2023). Other studies focused on field surveys of single human activity in giant panda natural reserves and studied its characteristics (Shen et al, 2022;Weng et al, 2022).…”

Human activities are one of the main factors threatening the long-term survival of wild giant pandas. Long-term and large-scale human activities can be quickly assessed by night light remote sensing data, which has been more and more widely used. In this paper, we analyzed the spatial patterns of nighttime light intensity and their dynamic changes from 2000 to 2020 in the entire giant panda distribution area using long-term nighttime light remote sensing data, and evaluated the dynamic threats of nighttime light-represented human activities to giant panda populations by proximity of light source and its intensity. We also assessed the relationships between the nighttime light dynamics and the trends of habitat fragmentation. Results showed that the intensity and range of the nighttime light around panda habitat had increased significantly from 2000 to 2020. The nighttime light intensity inside the natural reserves is significantly lower than outside, and it becomes more obvious over time. The intensity and range of nighttime light inside the natural reserves first increased and then decreased during the two decades, indicating that the protection inside the natural reserves effectively reversed the rapid increase in human activities in the previous decade. From 2000 to 2020, nighttime light sources became closer to local panda populations. In particular, they approached the pandas in the first decade, and stayed away in the second decade. This is mainly reflected in the weakened threats of nighttime light-represented human activities on the core large populations of the Qinling, Minshan and Qionglai Mountains from 2010 to 2020, but the threats on the peripheral populations continued to strengthen, where nighttime light became not only closer but also more intensified. The increase in nighttime light intensity and range were also significantly positively correlated with the increase in habitat fragmentation, especially during 2000–2010. Our study reveals the dynamic changes of nighttime light-represented human activities’ threats to wild giant panda and its habitat, gives advices for effectively protecting giant pandas and their habitats from human activities, and has implications for the assessment of human activities’ threats to other species in the world.
