Abstract: Protected area,as a main measure for biodiversity conservation,can not develop in a sustainable way without supports and recognitions of local people.In theory,the relationship between protected area and local community was showned as unfair distribution of conservation benefit and cost at different scales.While at the scale of protected area,it was showed as the conflict between conservation and development.In practice,the protected area management has changed from the traditional compulsory protection into the people-centered orientation.Biosphere Reserves,ICDPs (Integrated conservation and Development Projects) and CBNRM (Community-Based Nature Resource Management) have been put into practice to harmonize the relationship between protected area and local community.After years of implementation,there still exist some problems,which include the inconsistence between concepts and practices on the regulation of communities and their human activities,the conflict resolution mechanisms of local people and other relevant stakeholders and the lack of a supporting mechanism which ensures the implementation of protection.The paper gave a detailed analysis and summarization for the methods,practice and experiences of different ways to reconcile protected area management and local people,and to realize sustainable development.
