Evolutionary and historical development and current profiles are essential to generating a tangible conservation strategy. It is also critical to distinguish the regions with vigorous potential growth from those meeting evolutionary development bottlenecks and those whose development has been severely devastated. We used two sizeable national data repositories of terrestrial fauna and flora of China to approach the issues. The results indicate that the Southwest and Coastal regions have the most significant terrestrial faunal-floral biodiversity (TFFB). Thus, they should be prioritized in conservation for great potential promotions. Although there has been remarkable evolutionary development, the Central region has been severely devastated. A solution is to uphold a balanced association between social-economic development and TFFB sustainability. As for the Northeast and the western Northwest, there is no need to invest heavily in conservation measures. This study sheds light on exploring more practical conservation strategies regionally, nationally, and globally to achieve pragmatic goals.
进化与历史发展以及当前概况对于制定切实可行的保护策略至关重要。区分具有强劲潜在增长的地区、遭遇进化发展瓶颈的地区以及发展已遭受严重破坏的地区也至关重要。我们利用中国两个规模可观的陆地动植物国家数据存储库来探讨这些问题。结果表明，西南和沿海地区拥有最为显著的陆地动植物生物多样性（TFFB）。因此，鉴于其巨大的提升潜力，应优先对它们进行保护。尽管中部地区有显著的进化发展，但已遭受严重破坏。解决办法是在社会经济发展与TFFB可持续性之间保持平衡关系。至于东北和西北西部地区，则无需在保护措施上投入大量资金。本研究为在区域、国家和全球层面探索更切实可行的保护策略以实现务实目标提供了启示。
