Biological diversity is the condition of the survival for human beings and the basic for the sustained social and economic development. However, the conflict between social economic development and biodiversity conservation has become increasingly prominent in recent years. The pursuit of one-sided and short-term economic benefits results in a sharp reduction or loss of biological diversity and affects people's normal life. After a long period of social practice, people come to recognize that protecting natural resources and ecological environment and protecting biodiversity are of great importance for human survival and development. One of the important measures of protecting natural resources, ecological environment and biological diversity is to establish nature reserves. However, the establishment of nature reserves is only the first step to protect resources and environment, while how to effectively manage reserves remains to be a more important issue in front of us. When our government increases investment in protecting biodiversity conservation, it does not pay direct attention to the comprehensive output problems. In this period, there occurs a series of contradictions. In terms of these problems, it is the most urgent task for the government to make policy adjustment and innovation, in order to achieve biodiversity conservation in the nature reserves. The policy adjustment should be justified on the most basic problem of input and output, namely, cost-effectiveness. Therefore, the measurement of economic, ecological and social benefits and the evaluation of nature reserves development in the conservation of biodiversity in nature reserves are particularly important. It is also the direction that the national authorities are actively exploring. The national authorities are making active preparation for the amendment of existing laws and legislation.Based on above background, it is always academic research rub and hot, that is using the scientific theory and methods to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of protecting biodiversity reserves. This study is the further deepening of many scholars' study. Studing Qinling reserve, taking cost-efficiency analysis of protecting biodiversity of nature reserves for new perspective, and integrated management, economics, ecology and sociological theory of knowledge, it conducted the regional biodiversity of protecting Qinling reserve. Then it reviewed qualitatively the problem in the process of development to nature reserves. Based on them, it analyzed and studied in quantitative the costs and effectiveness in the process of protecting biodiversity reserves. This paper measured and evaluated the costs and effectiveness in the process of protecting biodiversity reserves by a research data and statistics, then forecasted it, and had optimized analysis of nature conservation policy for Qinling. In the research process, this paper basically answered four questions in the exordium:â‘ The study defined the cost and effectiveness for biodiversity protection of the nature reserves, and interpreted the human characteristics of the cost and effectiveness for biodiversity protection of the nature reserves;â‘¡Based on the academic research, and according to characteristics of the nature reserves, it filtered indicators of the natural economic, ecological, social benefits and protection costs. At the same time it established a measurement indicators system of cost and effectiveness and measured them;â‘¢It analyzed the measurement result, analyzed qualitatively the development tendency of nature reserves from the angle of the size of currency value and the stakeholders of cost and effectiveness, evaluated the measuring results this research by a mathematical analysis, and resulted the Qinling reserve in good condition. at present;â‘£To analyze better the Cost and benefit of nature reserves, it took curve analysis of the cost and effectiveness and got up to the high degree of the equation; also it integrated surrounding communities of the nature, especially for the internal communities, for policy optimization of the protection; at last based on the assessment of cost and effectiveness and the policy optimization, it proposed some proposals specially to policy optimization.
