Abstract:

According to the data reported by the environmental protection departments (Bureaus) of different provinces (autonomous regions and metropolitan cities) of China (abbreviated as MEP), there were 192 construction projects that affecting nature reserves (abbreviated as CPANR) from 2012 to 2015. Based on the statistical analysis, three significant characteristics of the CPANR were found, which include diverse types (14 types), widespread (affected 101 nature reserves distributed in 25 provinces) and ecological impact complex. Among the CPANR types road projects (44 projects) accounted for the most (22.92%), followed by water conservancy projects (37 projects) accounted for 19.27%. Considering the current demand of ecological protection for China, it is significantly important that the supervision on nature reserves and CPANRs in China should be strengthened. Hence, the following five suggestions are proposed:improving local governments' awareness of ecological protection, aggrandizing the control effect of the environmental impact assessment for planning projects, strengthening the argumentation on the selection of project sites/lines, implementing ecological compensation measures, and increasing public participation.

Key words: construction project, cumulative ecological impact, environmental management, impact analysis, nature reserves
