系统的保护规划旨在为空间上明确的决策提供信息。要做到这一点，需要将其纳入复杂的监管和治理进程，有效实现这一目标的情况有限。南非在保护计划的应用方面处于全球领先地位，其成果被广泛用于许多政府领域的空间规划和决策。我们的目标是通过评估保护计划特点的时间趋势(1990-2017，n=94)，确定该国的保护规划如何从理论到实施取得进展，并确定能够实现这一过渡的实际行动。自2010年以来，保护规划进入了以政府主导规划、行政规划领域而不是生态规划领域、规划单位规模缩小、越来越重视终端用户产品以及按计划修订规划为特征的操作阶段。促成这一进展的关键行动包括将计划的领导从科学家过渡到实践者，在执行机构内建设能力，创造机会将计划纳入立法进程，建立强大的实践共同体，采用以执行为重点的方法，并平衡标准化与创新。从这一模式中学习将使其他国家，特别是那些有着类似的巨大多样性的发展背景的国家，能够将保护规划落实到空间规划和决策中。
Systematic conservation planning is intended to inform spatially explicit decision making. Doing so requires that it be integrated into complex regulatory and governance processes, and there are limited instances where this has been achieved effectively. South Africa is a global leader in the application of conservation plans, the outputs of which are widely used for spatial planning and decision making in many spheres of government. We aimed to determine how conservation planning in the country progressed from theory to implementation, and to identify practical actions that enabled this transition, by assessing temporal trends in the characteristics of conservation plans (1990–2017, n = 94). Since 2010 conservation planning has entered an operational period characterized by government leadership of plans, administrative rather than ecological planning domains, decreasing size of planning units, increasing emphasis on end‐user products, and scheduled revision of plans. Key actions that enabled this progression include transitioning leadership of plans from scientists to practitioners, building capacity within implementing agencies, creating opportunities to integrate plans in legislative processes, establishing a strong community of practice, adopting implementation‐focused methods, and balancing standardization with innovation. Learning from this model will allow other countries, particularly those with a similar megadiverse, developing context, to operationalize conservation planning into spatial planning and decision making.
