This paper has described the ecosystem service functions, the ecosystem has not merely offered food, medicine and other to human being and produced life raw materials, the more important function is support the life system in which the mankind depends on for existence, and afford to maintain living beings of material, purify the environment, maintain the balance and stability of atmospheric chemistry. Then, the relations between ecosystem services and sustainable development are analyzed. Sustainable development should be based on ecological environment protection, in concert with bearing capacity of the resource and environment. However the destruction of human activity to forest, wetland and other ecosystems, having already endangered the service functions of the ecosystem seriously, it is urgent to protect the ecosystem service functions; the countermeasure of protecting the ecological service functions is suggested.
