人口压力对中国的环境提出了巨大的要求。近年来，中国政府制定了一系列旨在应对这些挑战的计划，其中之一是2001年启动的野生动物保护和自然保护区发展计划。这是为了保护该国一些最引人注目和最受威胁的物种的未来。鸡形目（雉鸡及其近缘种）就是这样一个引人注目的群体，在中国出现的63种鸟类中，有38种被列为国家保护物种。这是该国研究最多的鸟类群体，其中一些研究直接为各级行政部门的保护管理和政策提供了信息。[3]自20世纪70年代末以来，中国的研究人员与其他国家的研究人员进行了交流与合作。然而，现在迫切需要增加和更有组织的合作，以利用当前的机会加强中国的应用生态学，从而为环境政策和决策提供更多的科学投入。4合成及应用。中国是世界上生物多样性最丰富的国家之一，由于人口压力，中国面临着巨大的环境挑战。应用生态研究正日益为各级行政部门的政策和决策提供信息。因此，加强中国的应用生态学基础提供了前所未有的机遇。国际合作研究项目在发展高质量的研究和培养有才华的中国年轻研究人员方面具有巨大的潜力，这两者都将大大提高中国生物多样性保护政策的科学质量。
Summary 1 Human population pressure is placing huge demands on China's environment. In recent years, the Chinese government has established a suite of programmes designed to meet these challenges and one such programme is the Wildlife Conservation and Nature Reserves Development Programme launched in 2001. This is intended to safeguard the future of some of the country's highest profile and most threatened species. 2 The avian Order Galliformes (pheasants and their relatives) are one such high-profile group and 38 of the 63 species that occur in China are listed as nationally protected. This is the most studied group of birds in the country and some of this research has contributed directly to informing conservation management and policy at all administrative levels. 3 There are examples of communication and collaboration between researchers in China and those from other countries since the late 1970s. However, there is now a pressing need for increased and more structured collaboration to take advantage of current opportunities to strengthen applied ecology in China and thus provide greater scientific input to environmental policy and decision-making. 4 Synthesis and applications. China is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and faces substantial environmental challenges because of human population pressure. Applied ecological research is increasingly informing policy and decision-making at all administrative levels. Strengthening China's applied ecology base therefore offers unprecedented opportunities. International collaborative research programmes have substantial potential to develop high quality research and train talented young Chinese researchers, both of which will substantially enhance the quality of science informing China's biodiversity conservation policy.
