Panel Introduction

In the face of outstanding climate crisis and ecological risks in the 21st century, the United Nations has formulated a ten-year plan for ecosystem restoration from 2021 to 2030, which aims to promote large-scale restoration of degraded and damaged ecosystems. Ecological restoration has become one of core issues in global ecological environment governance. However, large-scale ecological restoration inevitably disturbs and reorganizes urban, rural, or wilderness landscapes, and also affects the relationship between humans and non-human species in the landscape.

This panel collects three Chinese ecological restoration cases related to landscape protection. It aims to discusses the complexity of ecosystem structure and function from different perspectives such as concept, technology and management. These cases reveal that ecological restoration is not only a technical strategy that relies on hard infrastructure improvement, but also an assemblage of complex social interactions and historical relationships in contextual regions. This panel advocates the importance of Socio-ecological system (SES) in ecology. Future Ecological restoration research shall be situated in a broader regional political, economic and ecological framework. By doing so, it highlights the driving force of human activities, the unpredictability of nature, and the instability and multi-stability of ecosystem.

进入21世纪，面对突出的气候危机与生态风险，联合国制定了2021—2030年生态系统修复十年计划，旨在推动大规模恢复退化和破坏的生态系统，生态修复工作已成为全球生态环境治理的一个核心议题。然而大规模的生态修复不可避免的扰动和重组着城市、乡村、或荒野景观，也影响着景观中人类与非人生物的关系。本组通过中国三个与景观保护相关的生态修复案例，从理念，技术和管理等不同层面，探讨生态系统结构和功能的复杂性。这些案例揭示了生态修复不仅仅是依靠传统基础设施的技术策略，更是特定地区情境下复杂的社会互动和历史关系的体现。本论坛希望引起大家对社会生态系统（SES）的关注，将生态修复置于更广泛的区域政治经济和政治生态框架中进行讨论，突出人类活动的驱动性、自然的不可控性、系统演替的不稳定性和多稳态性。
