南极特别保护区的发展趋势及设立流程分析

ANALYSIS ON DEVELOPMENT TREND AND DESIGNATION PROCESS OF ANTARCTIC SPECIALLY PROTECTED AREA

整理归纳了南极条约协商会议的相关资料和学术文献,从三个方面对南极特别保护区的发展趋势做出分析:从设立数目来看,可将各提议国划分为两大梯队,由于历史原因和综合实力上的悬殊,两大梯队设立的保护区数目有较大差距;从设立时间来看,保护区的发展历经高峰期、下降期和平缓期;从空间分布来看,目前的整体分布情况在环境方面不具有代表性,现阶段分布最密集的两大片区是南极半岛和罗斯海地区。此外,总结并更新了保护区的设立流程,并对我国未来开展设立保护区的工作提出建议。

This study summarizes and analyzes materials and academic literature relevant to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. Specifically, this study analyzes three aspects of development trends in the Antarctic Specially Protected Areas. In terms of number, Antarctic Specially Protected Areas can be divided into two echelons based on both historical development and comprehensive strength. In terms of the time of designation, the development of protected areas has experienced peak periods, descent periods and steady periods. In terms of spatial distribution, Antarctic Specially Protected Areas are not spatially representative and are most densely distributed in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Ross Sea. Additionally, this study summarizes and provides updates on the Antarctic Specially Protected Area designation process and makes suggestions with regard to future development of the protected areas, especially with respect to China.
