关于设立我国"国家公园日"的思考

1872年美国设立世界最早的国家公园——黄石国家公园以来,已有190个国家和地区设立了5000多处国家公园,国家公园已成为一个国家文明与进步的重要标志。2021年10月12日,中国正式设立三江源、大熊猫、东北虎豹、海南热带雨林、武夷山第一批共5处国家公园。设立"国家公园日"是深入推进生态文明建设的具体行动,是国际社会加强生态环境保护的通行做法,是构建完整的生态保护纪念日体系的重要举措,也是引导人们热爱国家公园、保护国家公园、珍惜国家公园的有效措施。建议将国家主席习近平在《生物多样性公约》第十五次缔约方大会领导人峰会正式宣布中国设立第一批国家公园的10月12日设立为我国的"国家公园日"。我国国家公园建设刚刚起步,近几年急需加快顶层设计。可考虑在每年的国家公园日推出一批顶层设计成果,出台一批政策标准、宣布一批新设国家公园、举办年度"国家公园论坛"、开展大型公共场所科普活动、开展主流媒体集中宣传报道等,推动我国国家公园建设健康持续发展。

Thoughts on Establishing "National Park Day" in China

Since Yellowstone National Park, the world's first National Park, was established in 1872 in the United States, more than 5000 national parks have been established in 190 countries and regions around the world over the past 150 years. National park has become an important symbolization of national civilization and progress. On October 12, 2021, China officially announced its first batch of five national parks, including the Three-River-Source National Park, Giant Panda National Park, Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, Hainan Tropical Rain Forest National Park and Wuyishan National Park. The establishment of "National Park Day" is a specific action to further promote the development of ecological civilization, the international common practice to strengthen eco-environmental protection, and an essential measure to build a complete anniversary system for ecological protection. It is also an efficient and active step to guide people to love, protect and cherish national parks. The author suggests that 12th October, the day when President Xi Jinping formally announced the first batch of national parks in China at the Leaders' Summit of the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) of the Convention on Biological Diversity, should be set up as the "National Park Day" in China. National parks in China have just been in its infancy, and there is an urgent need to speed up its top-level design. To celebrate the "National Park Day", we can consider such activities as launching a batch of top-level design, issuing relevant policies and development standards, announcing new batch of national parks, holding "National Park Forum", hosting large-scale science popularization activities, promoting mainstream media for publicity and dissemination, so as to facilitate the healthy and sustainable development of China's national parks.
