Sustainable development lays great stress on comprehensive harmony of population, natural resource, environment, economy and society, and the key problem of it is population. As far as the pastoral area of Inner Mongolia is concerned, grasslands is the base of people's existence and development, and is the foundation of nomadic civilization's formation, development and continuation. In the last half century, the population of Inner Mongolia and the rural of pastoral area have increased by less than 4 times and almost 8 times separately. But the area of natural rangeland and available pastoral lands have decreased by 11.5% and 24.7% respectively in the period from the 1960s to the end of 1990s,desertification has became the serious problem which Inner Mongolian economic development faced. This thesis think that population's sharp increase and their irrational economic behaviors are the main cause of grassland degradation, and grassland degradation restricts the economic development of pastoral area seriously. The sustainable development of Inner Mongolian pastoral area can be accomplished only when the ecological environment of the grasslands is protected, the natural resource is make used of rationally, the population are limited into the range of carrying capacity of steppe, the mode of production which appropriate to existence and development of people in pastoral area is selected. Therefore this thesis put forward some proposals of reconsidering the basic function of the grasslands, controlling the population and working out the condition of optimum population of Inner Mongolian pastoral area.
