摘要

山地是全球生物多样性热点地区的主要组成部分,在各种自然和人为压力的影响下,山地生态系统最容易崩溃。值得注意的是,90%以上的地缘政治冲突发生在全球生物多样性热点地区。喜马拉雅、西藏和横断山脉是气候变化与地缘政治冲突和军事化相遇的恰当例子。在此,我提出一项新的建议,并希望邻国能够接受跨界保护区的中立性,作为其外交工具的一部分,以促成持久和平。该提案主张为子孙后代和地区生态和经济安全建立大喜马拉雅和平保护区(GHPR)。拟议的保护区包括HTH山脉,这些山脉体现了地球上一些最具生物多样性的地区。这些山脉在控制南亚和东南亚的区域气候、水安全和农业生产力方面也发挥着核心作用。GHPR被设想为保护外交的潜在区域平台,以及全球可持续性与和平的典范基础框架。

Conservation diplomacy as part of multilateral strategies for global peace and sustainability.

Conservation diplomacy as part of multilateral strategies for global peace and sustainability.

Mountains, which constitute the majority of global biodiversity hotspots, are most vulnerable to ecosystem collapse due to various natural and anthropogenic stressors. Notably, over 90% of geopolitical conflicts have unfolded in the regions with global biodiversity hotspots. The Himalaya, Tibet and Hengduan (HTH) mountains are apt examples where climate change meets geopolitical conflict and militarization. Here, I advance a fresh proposal and hope that the neighbouring nations could bring to bear the neutrality of transboundary conservation areas, as part of their diplomatic tools, to broker a lasting peace. The proposal advocates establishing a Greater Himalayan Peace Reserve (GHPR) for posterity and regional ecological and economic security. The proposed reserve embraces the HTH mountains embodying some of the most biodiverse regions of the earth. These mountains also play a central role in controlling regional climate, water security and agricultural productivity of South and Southeast Asia. The GHPR is envisaged to be a potential regional platform for conservation diplomacy, and a model foundational framework for global sustainability and peace.
