保护濒危物种和改善栖息地质量以满足依赖大片保护区(如国家公园)的野生动物和人类社区的需求的一个战略是，将其管理划分为多种用途。我们评估了大熊猫国家公园的多用途分区能否达到保护大熊猫种群及其栖息地的目标，同时也促进了社区发展。我们综合大熊猫的存在数据、人类干扰分布和环境因素来评估大熊猫栖息地的适宜性、分区的有效性以及人类干扰对大熊猫栖息地的影响。我们的结果表明，基于第三次和第四次全国大熊猫调查，在2001-2003年至2011-2013年期间，大熊猫栖息地适宜性在研究区域的某些区域有所增加或稳定(保持适宜性)，部分地区的适宜性得到了部分改善。大熊猫的最佳栖息地和适宜栖息地大多位于大熊猫保护区核心保护区。然而，一般控制区的最佳栖息地往往位于核心保护区的交界处，这表明特别需要加强这些区域的管理。最佳栖息地和不适宜栖息地放牧率最高。因此，需要特别注意人类干扰对野生动物造成的压力，例如在一般控制区放牧牲畜。我们的分析和这些发现对大熊猫保护和GPNP建设具有重要意义。(C)2021年提交人。发行人：Elsevier B.V.CC_by_NC_ND_4.0
One strategy to protect endangered species, and improve the quality of habitat to meet the needs of both the wildlife and human communities that rely on large protected areas (such as national park), is by zoning its management for multiple uses. We assessed whether multi-use zoning of the Giant Panda National Park (GPNP) could achieve the goal of protecting the panda population and its habitat, while also promoting community development. We in-tegrate panda presence data, human disturbance distribution, and environmental factors to evaluate panda habitat suitability, the effectiveness of zoning designations, and the impact of human disturbance on panda habitat. Our results show that panda habitat suitability has been partially improved, as certain areas of increased in suitability or stabilized (maintained suitability) across the research region between 2001-2003 and 2011-2013, based on the 3rd and 4th national surveys of the giant panda. Most of the optimum and suitable habitat for panda were located in the core protection area of the GPNP. However, the optimum habitat in the general control area is often located at the junction with the core protection area, in-dicating a particular need to strengthen management in these areas. Meanwhile, the en-counter rates of livestock grazing were highest in optimum habitat and unsuitable habitat. As such, particular attention needs to be paid to the pressures on wildlife caused by human disturbances, such as livestock grazing, in the general control area. Our analyses and these findings have important implications for giant panda conservation and GPNP construction. (c) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. CC_BY_NC_ND_4.0
