Abstract： The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework sets out key actions for biodiversity conservation worldwide in the coming period, including integrating biodiversity and its multiple values into economic and social activities. As a party to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, China has made unremitting efforts to promote the biodiversity mainstreaming, integrating biodiversity conservation into top-level national decision-making and major strategic planning, and integrating it into the policies, norms and assessment mechanisms of ecological environment, natural resources and other relevant industries. Different functional departments, scientific research institutions, enterprises, social organizations and other organizations have carried out extensive and in-depth research based on multiple aspects of biodiversity conservation and management. Benchmark the objectives of the "Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework" and refer the advanced experience of biodiversity mainstreaming practice in other countries, this paper discussed and analyzed the conceptual connotation of biodiversity mainstreaming, summarized the practice and stage results of biodiversity mainstreaming in China, then it focused on different actors including governments, enterprises and the public and proposed the implementation path of promoting biodiversity mainstreaming in an all-round way for China in the new era, including: (1) Import a consistent action framework which is mitigation protection hierarchy with four steps, contained avoidance, mitigation, recovery, and offset; (2) Give play to the leading role of government governance, and integrate biodiversity conservation into government governance systems and industrial development layout with the help of various planning and policy tools; (3) Support enterprises to take joint actions and internalize ecological and environmental hazards into business operations which could promote sustainable production and consumption; (4) Raise public awareness to promote broad participation in biodiversity conservation, establish a system of public participation in biodiversity conservation through various publicity and education actions, guide the public to practice a green and low-carbon lifestyle, and translate into real benefits of biodiversity and climate mitigation and improvement. By taking the above actions, we will strive to integrate biodiversity into the policy mechanisms of government departments at all levels and social production and life practices, so as to provide references for improving biodiversity governance decisions.

Abstract： Biodiversity loss is one of the major crises facing humanity today, and with none of the biodiversity targets represented by the Aichi Biodiversity Targets being met, there is an urgent need to promote transformative change to halt and reverse the trend of biodiversity loss. Nature-based solutions (NbS) have emerged as an important tool to address the global crisis due to its inherent principles involving holistic and systemic approach, diversity, stability, sustainability, trade-offs, and compatibility. The relationship between biodiversity and NbS is analyzed from a mechanistic and functional perspective, and the pathway of NbS as a proxy for biodiversity conservation is revealed by restoring of ecosystem complexity and trophic levels to put nature on the path. We here summarize the dual intensions of promoting NbS for biodiversity conservation, as 1) the goal aimed at enhancing diversity, stability, and sustainability of ecosystem, and 2) the tool involves use natural processes. Based on the above understanding of the link between NbS and biodiversity, this paper further compares the conceptual connotation of NbS with the consistency of biodiversity conservation, as well as the NbS methods for biodiversity conservation including natural, agricultural and urban area. Practical cases of NbS for biodiversity conservation or synergy of NbS for biodiversity are summarized in align with differentiated typical ecosystems. The multiple benefits of NbS for biodiversity conservation, climate change and sustainable development are discussed. The vision of integrating NbS into strategic planning for biodiversity conservation is presented to provide a reference for promoting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the mainstreaming of NbS in biodiversity conservation.
