Key Points

• The aim is to address complex, cross-scale challenges in biodiversity conservation under global change influences in China.
• Systematic review of five main biodiversity threats: land use change, over-exploitation, alien species invasion, environmental pollution, and climate change.
• Proposed a cross-scale "warning-action-feedback" biodiversity conservation framework.
• Emphasized the integration of remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and multi-source data for effective conservation management.
• Identified five critical factors driving biodiversity loss, each with distinct mechanisms and ecological impacts.
• Recommended prioritization of limited conservation resources to key areas and species through a dynamic protection system.
• Encouraged collaborative governance across regions and sectors for enhanced conservation effectiveness.
