Abstract

The urbanization in Beijing intensified the fragmentation of ecosystems, especially for the forests and wetlands. Wetlands provide multiple ecological services (e.g., a food source, climate regulation). Thus, wetland protection is part of the foundation for sustainable economic and social development for Beijing. This study summarizes the experience of well-developed cities in wetland protection and sustainable development and subsequently analyzes the current issues of Beijing’s wetlands. The results showed that a limited resource space, high human stress, and lack of scientifically based polices are the main obstacles. Therefore, we recommend the following: (1) support the utilization of rainwater and reclaimed water and optimize the coordinated utilization of water resources, (2) strengthen the ecological protection and restoration efforts to realize the ecological protection system of water–city integration, (3) build a forest water complex ecosystem in metropolises to create a livable environment with forest and water, and (4) conduct scientific and technological research on the optimal total amount of wetlands and develop wetland technologies.

北京湿地保护现状与发展对策
北京的城市化加剧了生态系统的碎片化,尤其是森林和湿地。湿地提供多种生态服务(如食物来源、气候调节)。因此,湿地保护是北京经济社会可持续发展的基础。本研究总结了发达城市在湿地保护和可持续发展方面的经验,并对北京湿地的现状进行了分析。结果表明,资源空间有限、人力压力大、缺乏科学的政策是主要障碍。因此,我们建议如下:(1)支持雨水和再生水的利用,优化水资源的协调利用;(2)加强生态保护和修复力度,实现水城融合的生态保护体系,(3)在大都市建立森林-水复合生态系统,创造有林有水的宜居环境;(4)对最佳湿地总量进行科学技术研究,开发湿地技术。
