What are the main functions of national parks?

Although the national park has the word "park", it is no longer a traditional leisure and entertainment tourism development scenic spot. According to the latest regulations, the primary function of national parks is to protect the authenticity and integrity of important natural ecosystems, and at the same time, they have comprehensive functions such as scientific research, education and recreation.

"National parks should be owned by all citizens," said the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission. According to the Overall Plan for Establishing National Park System, the ownership of natural resources assets owned by the whole people in national parks shall be exercised by the central government and provincial governments at different levels, and gradually by the central government when conditions are ripe. Residents in key protected areas should gradually implement the relocation of ecological immigrants, and collective land should be given priority to standardize the circulation through leasing and replacement, and be managed by the national park management agencies in a unified manner. Strengthen the attributes of public ownership, public management and justice; What is included in national parks and funded by the state cannot be a local "cash cow".

Experts pointed out that the plan clearly put forward the establishment of unified administrative power, hierarchical management system and diversified financial security system, and answered a series of "rights" and "money" questions about which national parks are national and which are local.

According to the plan, a department will be set up in the future to uniformly exercise the management responsibilities of national parks and nature reserves. The relevant departments shall guide and manage the national parks according to law. Experts pointed out that it is necessary to change the current problem of compartmentalization and multi-head management of nature reserves, break the restrictions of departments and regions, and make daily management, comprehensive law enforcement and operation supervision all managed together.
