Abstract

To achieve sustainable development of wildlife resources, the protection of wildlife and maintenance of ecological balance has become one of the key goals in China. For the protection of wildlife resources, it is necessary to quantitatively study the trend in sustainable development of these wildlife resources. Analysis of the general trend of sustainable development, which is achieved by sustainable development wildlife resources, the protection of wildlife resources and habitat, and ecological balance, has important theoretical meaning as well as practical significance. In this paper, we established a system of wildlife sustainable evaluation indicators. We also used the entropy method to determine the weight of each index, examined the protection of wildlife resources and development of harmonious resource use, and analyzed the overall tendency of sustainable development of wildlife resources. The results show that: (1) From 2001-2009 in China there was an upward trend in the wildlife and habitat protection index, resource economic comprehensive index, and social progress index. (2) The degree of coordination between wildlife and environmental protection and comprehensive resource economics was 0. 14-0. 35 in 2001-2005 and 2007-2009. Also, the overall coordination development was at a relatively low level, which belonged to the class of disorders of recession. The degree value was 0. 45 in 2006, which belonged to the coordination development in the transition phase. (3) Although the wildlife resource sustainable development level was increasing, the overall level was low. The comprehensive index was between 0.15-0. 31 from 2001-2005, and between 0. 45-0. 47 from 2007-2008, which belonged to the traditional backward stage of development. The integrated index was 0. 55 in 2006 and 0. 56 in 2009, which was achieved by the transition from traditional development to sustainable development. Based on the actual situation of China's wildlife protection, combining the related data analysis affects sustainable development of wildlife resources for the following reasons: (1) negative effects on wildlife and habitat protection; (2) need for more comprehensive wildlife advocacy; (3) the overall level of wildlife breeding industry needs to advance; (4) the wildlife resource industry level needs to be further improved; (5) wildlife resources for the sustainable development of macroeconomics must be regulated and controlled. On this basis we propose the following four methods to promote the sustainable development of wildlife resources in China: (1) Further strengthen the protection of wildlife and habitats. This can be done by developing teams of professional staff to work in wildlife protection, improving staff welfare, establishing community co-management systems, and galvanizing the enthusiasm of residents for the protection of wildlife. (2) Conduct public campaigns for "the science behind wildlife conservation". Develop new strategies for wildlife protection and new methods of publicity aimed at educating the public on the importance of reducing their use of wildlife resources. (3) Increasing scientific research on wildlife breeding to overcome current technical barriers. Optimization of industrial structure of wildlife resources to improve the quality of wildlife as a product. (4) Further improve laws and regulations governing wildlife resources, and promote development of a legal system to oversee the resource utilization industry.
