Abstract:
Objectives China possesses the largest number of World Natural Heritage sites in the world. Despite the existence of various protection agencies and legal regulations, there is a pressing need for enhancements in the conservation of China's natural heritage. Drawing on the preservation experiences of different countries, especially developed ones, is of great significance to enhance the level of heritage protection in China and ensure the intergenerational transmission of this commonwealth of humanity.
Methods This study employed a literature review to collect relevant cases and experiences in World Natural Heritage protection from the United States and the United Kingdom. Based on an analysis of the similarities and differences between the two countries, the study proposed valuable insights that have important reference significance for China.
Results This paper analyzed the experiences of the United States and the United Kingdom in the protection and management of World Natural Heritage sites. The study comprehensively reviewed the related experiences from various aspects, including the legal framework, management systems, community involvement, and talent support.
Conclusions By learning from the heritage protection experiences of the United States and the United Kingdom, China can further establish a comprehensive legal system, strengthen management frameworks, plan integrally, and build multi-stakeholder win-win mechanisms. Additionally, China should focus on cultivating a specialized talent pool, improving talent remuneration, and reasonably allocating personnel for heritage sites in remote areas.
