Protected areas have long been considered a cornerstone of biodiversity conservation by policy-makers and the conservation community. Yet, despite ongoing efforts, many countries, including China, continue to face persistent challenges in effectively managing these areas. Here we examine how science-management partnerships, particularly those headed by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), have catalyzed governance reforms of protected areas in China. The integration of scientific research with policy action has enabled the establishment of a unified national park system, mitigating management inefficiencies and enhancing ecosystem resilience. We propose strategies for CAS to consolidate its leadership in this domain. These partnerships might offer global insights into evidence-based protected area management.
Key words: Science-policy interface / biodiversity conservation / environmental sustainability / cross-sector collaboration
