Fig. 1 Chinese cities with populations over one million in biodiversity hotspots. The classification of megacities, super-large cities, and large cities (Type I and Type II) is based on the criteria outlined in the Notice of the State Council on Adjusting the Criteria for Classification the Size of Cities, using permanent urban population data from the tabulation on 2020 China Population Census Data by County. The boundary of urban areas in this figure refers to the metropolitan core area (for Shenzhen), main urban district (for Guangzhou and Chengdu), and central urban district (for all other cities), as delineated in each city’s territorial spatial planning. The locations of breeding sites, wintering sites, and stopover sites for migratory bird in China are based on the National Action Plan for the Conservation of Migratory Bird Flyways in China (2021-2035). Important habitats for terrestrial wildlife are sourced from the List of Important Habitats for Terrestrial Wildlife (First Batch) released by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration in 2023.
Fig. 3 Analytical framework for conservation policies in hotspot cities based on Target 12 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and Priority Action 18 of the China National Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030)
