Abstract

Ecological security is critical to sustainable development of human society in the 21st century, which has been paid great attention to by Chinese government since 2003. Firstly, introducing many different understandings on the concept of ecological security, this paper summarizes ecological security concept as follows: Ecological Security is an interdiscipline of natural sciences and social sciences. The concept of ecological security connotes (1) the health, integrity and sustainability of ecosystems and (2) the ecosystems services contributed to human welfare. Ecological security has the characteristics of globality, nonreversibility of ecological damage and chronicity of ecological recovery. Secondly, this paper reviews the research progress on ecological security and puts up a frame of ecological security that is the health, integrity and sustainability of ecosystems, the ecosystems services, and the analysis and assessment of ecological security. The main researches focus on the regional construction and management of ecological security. But the weak researches are on ecological security with globalization and climate change; especially, there is no generally recognized concept of ecological security now, and little new methods of analysis and assessment on ecological security are developed recently. Thirdly, 3 basic theories are concluded on ecological security developing in over 10 years: (1) Assessment of ecosystems health and environmental risk; (2) National interests in environmental /ecological security; and (3) Ecological right theory and legal practice. And several main research methods on ecological security are sum up too. Finally, the research proposal outline in the future is offered: a. to make and bound the concept of ecological security; b. to build the theory for ecological security subject; c. to develop the research methods; d. to build the assessment systems; and e. to make the decision-support model for the regional sustainable development.
