Abstract

In this study, the sustainable development evaluation index system of the wild plant resources in the GuangXi province is established based on the principles of scientific nature and operability, etc. Based on this evaluation index system and statistical data of GuangXi province from 2003 to 2011, comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the sustainable development condition of wild plant resources was carried out using the Entropy-AHP evaluation model and index weighting model. The results show that the sustainable development level has a steady upward trend, but the overall level is not high. The composite index of wildlife and habitat protection shows a rising trend while the comprehensive index change of economic resources is relatively stable. The comprehensive index of social development initially rises and then falls. Finally, some countermeasures have been put forward based on the results of this study, which has provided a theoretical basis for promoting the sustainable development of the wild plant resources in GuangXi and the country.
