Abstract: Using bibliometric software CiteSpace, a visual analysis of the theme of wildlife conservation was conducted to provide the latest hotspots and research directions for wildlife studies. Based on the CNKI database, a journal literature analysis was performed, and 1139 standard articles were visually analyzed for publication volume, publishing institutions, authors, co-occurrence of keywords, clustering, and burst analysis. The results showed that the overall publication volume in the field of wildlife conservation showed an increasing trend, with forestry-related journals ranking high in publication volume. Domestically, attention to wildlife conservation was particularly high around the time of revising conservation laws. Core research institutions were closely interconnected, forming seven large collaborative networks among researchers. Over time, research on the keyword "wildlife" had persisted. In the early stages, the researches in this field mainly focused on the ecological environment. With the introduction of the concept of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, societal attention and protection towards wildlife had increased. The emphasis on the survival environment of wildlife, particularly in natural protected areas, was gradually growing. Combining wildlife conservation with research on nature reserves and further exploring conservation strategies and measures, predicting conservation directions, can better address threats to nature and wildlife.

摘要： 通过文献计量学软件CiteSpace对野生动植物保护主题进行可视化分析，为野生动植物研究提供最新热点和研究方向。基于CNKI数据库进行期刊文献分析，对1139篇符合标准文献的发文量、发文机构、作者、关键词共现、聚类、突现进行可视化分析。结果表明，野生动植物保护领域的发文量总体呈增长趋势，其中林业期刊的发文量排名较为靠前。国内对于野生动植物保护的关注度在修订保护法前后较高，且机构核心研究较为紧密，研究者之间形成7个大的组合合作网络。随着时间的推移，对于“野生动植物”此关键词的研究一直延续至今。该研究领域早期主要关注生态环境，在人与自然和谐相处的理念出台后，引起了社会对于野生动植物的关注和保护，对于野生动植物生存环境即自然保护地重视程度也在逐渐提高。将野生动植物保护与自然保护区研究相结合，并进一步探究其保护对策和措施，预测其保护方向，可以更好地对自然和野生动植物面临的威胁做出应对措施。
