This research conducted
questionnaires of 68 national nature reserves from 24 provincial regions, and the questionnaires showed
that all surveyed nature reserves experienced climate change, and 68.57%, 61.43% and 68.57% of nature
reserves, respectively, considered warming temperature, precipitation change, and occurrence of extreme
climate events as new threats to them. These new factors directly threat the distribution range and survival
of endangered species, change of ecosystem function, enhance of pest and disease damages, and
directed damage the infrastructures. However, most of the surveyed nature reserves did not consider
the systematic monitoring the facts of climate change, and lack actions and strategies of initiative adaptation
to climate change. At last, we proposed the strategies for nature reserves to adapt to climate
change, including enhancing the monitoring on the impact of climate change, making scientific planning
and designing for development of nature reserves, decreasing the pressure through sustainable development,
and enhancing the scientific research and the investment to improve the ability of nature reserves
to adapt to climate change.
