Wildlife resource conservation and utilization for achieving sustainable development in China: main barriers and problem identification

Abstract

The rapid growth of the industrial economy has affected the survival of wildlife, and the decline in wildlife resources will in turn have some negative impact on the industrial economy. For the sustainable development of the industrial economy, human beings began to reflect on traditional development thinking and strive to find a development strategy that harmonizes industrial economic development and resource protection, and wildlife protection gradually attracted people’s attention. “Protecting wild animals, maintaining ecological balance, and promoting economic development” has become a hot topic in the new century. Wildlife resources are valuable natural resources and play an important role in the ecosystem, which is related to the well-being and future of human beings. In recent years, China has made great progress in wildlife protection, while protecting and expanding wildlife habitats, introducing relevant laws and regulations, and other measures which have been implemented recently. However, there are still shortcomings in the protection of wildlife in China. Over-utilization, habitat loss and degradation, environmental pollution, climate change, weak legal awareness, and indiscriminate hunting all pose serious threats to wildlife in China. In this regard, this paper summarizes the main problems and barriers to wildlife resource conservation and utilization in China. Based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the main technology factors influencing wildlife resource conservation and utilization in China are identified. Finally, the future research development direction of wildlife conservation is discussed based on the critical factors. This can provide some guidance for developing wildlife resource conservation and utilization for a sustainable ecosystem in China.

Fuzzy Dynamic Modeling for Export Consortia in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

“…The reliability of the measurement tool should be ensured before performing any data analysis and statistical inference (28). Reliability indicates whether the same results will be obtained if the study is repeated with the same test.…”

“…Du et al (28) summarized the main problems and obstacles in the protection of wildlife resources and their use in China. Based on Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the main technological factors affecting on conservation and use of wildlife resources in China were identified.…”

A hybrid approach for low-carbon transportation system analysis: integrating CRITIC-DEMATEL and deep learning features

“…With the continuous development of the social economy and technology, research on supply chains, logistics, and transportation has become increasingly active. However, energy consumption, carbon emissions, and environmental pollution resulting from these activities remain significant concerns (Wen et al 2022 ; Tian et al 2023a ; Du et al 2023 ; Moslem et al 2019 ). The promotion of green logistics development has become a grand challenge for both developed and developing countries (Moslem et al 2019 ; Awasthi et al 2011 ).…”

Multi-Objective Disassembly Sequence Planning in Uncertain Industrial Settings: An Enhanced Water Wave Optimization Algorithm

“…Industrial equipment maintenance plays a crucial role in ensuring production continuity and equipment lifespan [1,2]. In this context, disassembly sequence planning (DSP) assumes a pivotal role, focusing on the determination of the optimal disassembly sequence for components [3].…”
