中国公民科学的蓬勃发展为更新受威胁鸟类的分布图创造了机会,并为保护决策做出了贡献。从1998年到2013年,中国7000多名观鸟者提交了46,073份记录,涵盖了1371种鸟类中的1195种,覆盖了全国所有省级行政区。共提取了95种IUCN红色名录濒危物种和239种国家重点保护物种的13,181个发生地。将这些数据应用于MaxEnt模型,我们确定了中国新的受威胁鸟类保护热点,在渤海湾和黄海沿岸,华北平原南部,长江下游。这些新的保护热点不包括在全球生物多样性热点中,也不是所有的国家生物多样性战略和行动计划(NBSAP)的优先区域。这些新确定的保护热点严重保护不足:只有不到2%的国家级自然保护区。实现爱知目标还有很长的路要走,该目标是到2020年阻止生物多样性丧失的计划。
Blooming citizen science in China creates opportunities to update distribution maps of threatened birds and contributes to decision making for conservation. 46,073 records submitted by over 7000 bird watchers from 1998 to 2013 in China cover 1195 of 1371 species and all provincial administrative districts in the country. We extracted 13,181 occurrence localities for 95 threatened species defined by the IUCN Red List and 239 national protected species in China. By applying these data in MaxEnt model, we identified new conservation hotspots for threatened birds in China in coastal regions of the Bohai Gulf and the Yellow Sea, the south of the North China Plain, and the lower reach of the Yangtze River. These new conservation hotpots are not included in the global biodiversity hotspots, and not all represented in the priority regions in National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP). These newly identified conservation hotspots are seriously under-protected: only less than 2% of them are in national nature reserves. There is a long way to go to meet the Aichi targets, a plan to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2020.
