世界荒野保护运动正在稳健发展,在国家层面,已有48个国家通过法律认定荒野保护地;在国际层面,世界自然保护联盟和世界荒野大会促进形成了荒野保护的全球合力,并呼唤中国参与。在分析世界荒野保护运动发展概况后,梳理荒野的经典定义,进一步从荒野观念、荒野地、荒野保护地3个维度阐释荒野概念。在概念阐释的基础上,分析国内荒野研究与保护实践中存在的问题。进而提出中国荒野研究框架,阐述中国荒野研究的对象、范畴、主题、参与学科、目标,并提出中国荒野研究的10项关键课题。
The International Wilderness Movement is steadily developing. At the national level, forty-eight countries have wilderness areas established via assigning them into legislative designations of IUCN protected area management category 1b sites. At the international level, tremendous effects from IUCN and WWC have contributed to the global cohesion of the wilderness protection, calling for China's participation. On the basis of analyzing the international background, the terminology wilderness is explored in depth, and the concepts of wilderness is explained in three dimensions including wilderness idea, wilderness areas and wilderness protected areas. Based on the interpretation of the wilderness concept, domestic concerns in research of the wilderness and wilderness protection are discussed. As a result, a research framework of Chinese wilderness will be developed including objects, domains, themes, related disciplines, and goals in the research process. In particular, ten key issues in Chinese wilderness research are put forward.
