Regulatory Dilemma and Legislative Response of Nature Reserve SpaceAn empirical analysis based on the relevant laws and regulations of nature reserves

There are various problems hidden behind the seemingly robust development of nature reserves, such as the indistinct definition of concepts, vague functions of main bodies, and the overlapping of geographical space, which impede the nature reserves to fulfil their function. The main causes of these issues, such as administrative segmentation, the backfiring joint-management decisions, and the conflicting policies from different departments are the conflicts of laws and regulations in nature reserves. The conflicts can be attributed to the lack of legislative planning, the unclear division of administrative power, and the conflicts in interest among supervisors. Therefore, on the basis of coordinating the economic development and the ecological protection of nature reserves, it is necessary to build a scientific and appropriate system for nature reserves, establish a unified, standardized, and efficient hierarchical management system, as well as intensify the efforts of establishing, changing, abolishing, and interpreting the current laws and regulations of nature reserves.
