I believe that China has a unique approach to land use planning, identifying key areas for conservation. It would be very interesting to see how China’s approach could inform the process of developing “Essential Life Support Areas,” and vice versa. (Please see https://www.new.unbiodiversitylab.org/elsa/). I would love to see a strong commitment to integrated land use planning emerge at COP 15 in Kunming this fall.
