A Model Study on Promoting the Integration of Animal Habitat Conservation and Cultural and Ecological Development in Zibo Region through a Digital Platform

Abstract

As a key area of ecological protection in Shandong Province, Zibo area has rich animal resources and profound Qi cultural heritage. This paper examines the current state of animal habitats and their cultural and ecological characteristics in the Zibo area, revealing conflicts between animal habitats and both nature reserves and surrounding scenic spots and forest parks. These conflicts lead to resource management issues and ecosystem endangerment. The study proposes to build a digital platform to integrate the biodiversity database, infrared camera monitoring network and cultural resources mapping to realize intelligent planning and public participatory conservation of animal migration corridors. In addition, the “government-led + multi-party synergy” mechanism is used to emphasize the combination of policy support and community participation, and to promote the ecological compensation system and benefit-sharing model. Finally, the multilevel protection system can reduce the impact of human activities and improve the smooth progress of animal habitat protection, providing a practical framework for biodiversity conservation and cultural and ecological integration in industrial transition cities.
