On the same day, the State Forestry and Grassland Administration held a special press conference on "National Park Standards". On October 12, 13 days ago, at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity Leaders' Summit, the news of China's establishment of the first batch of national parks such as Sanjiangyuan, giant panda, Northeast Tiger and Leopard, Hainan Tropical Rainforest and Wuyi Mountain was officially announced to the world and attracted attention.
How to understand the national park access conditions proposed in the "National Park Establishment Code", and whether the eligible areas can be included in the national park?
In this regard, Tang Xiaoping interpreted it from three aspects: national representativeness, ecological importance, and management feasibility.

He said that "national representation" is extremely important in the selection of national parks, not only emphasizing that national parks should select natural ecosystems with Chinese representative significance, or areas where China's unique and key protected wild animal and plant species are concentrated, and areas with natural landscapes and natural cultural heritage of national and even global significance, but also reflect that national parks must conform to the overall interests and long-term interests of the country and be established by the state.
Regarding the "importance of ecology", he believes that it is the most core function of the national park, and any other function must be carried out on the basis of ecological protection, and the natural and human resources carried by the natural ecosystem must be completely preserved.
Speaking of "management feasibility", he explained that this is the foothold of the establishment of national parks, which should not only reflect the state power, state management, national legislation, and national maintenance, but also fully take into account the actual conditions of china's large number of people and small land, have the potential to achieve effective management at a more reasonable cost, coordinate the relationship between stakeholders, and provide national quality education opportunities to achieve sharing among the whole people. Areas that meet the access conditions also need to consider the overall layout of the country as a whole, consider the urgency of ecological protection and local enthusiasm, and perform the approval procedures in accordance with the principle of "establishing one mature one" to promote the establishment of national parks in an orderly manner.

China's nature reserves, scenic spots, wetland parks, forest parks, etc. have corresponding national standards or departmental regulations, what are the characteristics of the "National Park Master Planning Technical Specifications" compared with it?
In contrast, Tang Xiaoping said that on the basis of summarizing the application practice of relevant standards such as nature reserves and scenic spots, combined with the functional positioning of national parks, the overall planning of national parks has been clearly positioned, that is, the overall planning of national parks belongs to the special planning of the national land spatial planning system, is an important part of the national park planning system, and is a programmatic document for the spatial management and development of national parks, with spatial attributes, construction attributes and management attributes.

He said that the content of the plan has been further refined and deepened: first, in terms of the investigation and evaluation of the current situation, the depth of the survey and analysis is stipulated in combination with the three access conditions of the national park; the second is to increase the content of the scope of the national park, put forward the principles and methods of the scope definition, and put forward the functional partition content on the basis of the control zoning; the third is to put forward technical requirements according to the functional positioning of the national park, in accordance with the five key contents of the protection system, service system, community development, management system, and land use coordination planning The fourth is to increase the content of coordinated land use planning, which not only solves the situation that the construction plan of natural protected areas cannot be landed in the past, but also helps to connect with the land spatial planning and achieve "multi-planning".
