In recent years, illegal crossing incidents have frequently occurred in multiple nature reserves in Sichuan Province, posing a serious threat to public safety, social public resources, and the ecological environment of the protected areas. This article analyzes the problems in the governance of illegal crossing in Sichuan Province, such as incomplete pre-approval mechanisms, difficulty in controlling spontaneous crossing behavior, insufficient law enforcement linkage, limited actual law enforcement methods, and serious online misleading. To effectively address these issues, this article suggests adopting measures such as improving pre-approval and filing mechanisms, strengthening social supervision and intelligent supervision, clarifying regulatory authorization and exploring delegated law enforcement, strengthening network supervision and adopting public opinions, in order to better adapt to the actual needs of illegal crossing governance in Sichuan Province.
