Abstract:
This study addresses the current challenges of unclear baseline status and ambiguous value transformation pathways of nature education resources in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau National Park Cluster. It focuses on the construction mechanism and realization path of the nature education opportunity spectrum. The research reveals that the spectrum is driven by three core elements: resource endowment, public experience, and management requirements. It encompasses five types of opportunities: nature observation, wilderness exploration, cultural experience, study tour, and venue-based education. This spectrum provides guidance for optimizing resource allocation at both the cluster and individual park levels. At the cluster level, the focus is on the macro-level coordination of three major goals: ecological protection, green development, and livelihood improvement. Through a collaborative governance model featuring vertical coordination, horizontal cooperation, and grassroots implementation, and supported by operational approaches such as government procurement, concession operations, and community co-construction, the model promotes precise matching of supply and demand among diverse stakeholders. At the individual park level, the emphasis shifts to the micro-level development of environmental interpretation systems, optimizing the configuration of educational media across three dimensions: theme, time, and space. This study aims to provide a scientific reference for transforming the value of nature education resources into cultural service value within the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau National Park Cluster, as well as for advancing the synergistic progress of nature education alongside the cluster′s goals of ecological protection, green development, and livelihood improvement.
