An Analysis on Resource Management of Geoheritage: A Case Study of South China Karst

South China Karst, covering 146,016 hectares and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, showcases outstanding universal value through its unique karst landscapes. This study highlights the site's geological significance while identifying critical threats such as over-exploitation and rocky desertification, which pose risks to its sustainability. The research employs analytical comparison from global perspectives to assess heritage resource properties and proposes conservation strategies, including the implementation of scientific management mechanisms and disaster monitoring systems. These measures aim to mitigate geological disasters and promote sustainable development, ensuring the long-term preservation of this globally significant natural heritage.
