In order to provide a scientific basis for the development of the Yunnan wetland ecosystem, we construct a wetland ecosystem health evaluation system with 15 evaluation indexes selected from three aspects including pressure, status and response based on PSR mathematical model. Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) was used to determine the weight of indicators and the Yunnan wetland ecosystem was divided into “the five health status” of “health, sub-health, fragility, illness, and scurviness”, which are used to analyze and evaluate the health status of it through a comprehensive evaluation index. The results show that the comprehensive evaluation index of ecosystem health status of Yunnan wetland is 0.5524 in 2017, locating in the grade of “fragility” and is close to the status of “sub-healthy”; Among the 3 levels of pressure, state, and response, the pressure and state are locating in the grade of “fragility” and the response is close to the status of “health”. Among the 15 evaluation indexes, the rate of change of wetland area, the area of water body, the hydrological regulation and the wetland management level are the most important factors affecting the ecosystem health of Yunnan wetland.
