A Summary of Practices in the Conservation and Management of the Zhoukoudian Site in the New Era

A strategic shift towards 'preventive conservation' has significantly enhanced the preservation of the Zhoukoudian Site, a UNESCO World Heritage property. This approach, involving round-the-clock monitoring, protective shelters like the Peking Man Cave structure, 3D digital archiving, and ecosystem restoration, effectively safeguards the site from natural weathering and historical legacies. The integration of legal frameworks and a new museum complex further supports scientific research, education, and cultural tourism. However, sustained efforts in securing continuous funding, relocating residents, and advancing technological applications remain critical for long-term preservation.
