Abstract: Building policy tools for biodiversity assessment plays an important role in strengthening the assessment and management of biodiversity, as well as improving decision-making related to biodiversity conservation. However, there is still a lack of policy tools for biodiversity assessment. The relationship between biodiversity assessment and policy making was analyzed on the basis of the latest concepts, policy tools and methods for ecological environmental protection around the world. An integrated platform for biodiversity assessment policy tools was developed to combine biodiversity conservation objectives at all levels into regional and industry development planning and decision-making. The integrated platform consists of four subsystems:policy tool introduction, policy design, policy progress and policy effect. With this platform, the core functions of an indicator system for managing biodiversity assessment, policy design, policy progress assessment, and production of assessment results can be realized. Jiangsu Province was chosen as a case study area to verify the applicability and feasibility of the integrated platform for biodiversity assessment policy tools in multi-level biodiversity conservation target design.
