Since ancient times, Inner Mongolia grassland plays an irreplaceable role for the development of human society through its ecological, economic and social function. So the Inner Mongolia grassland degradation phenomenon that started to appear in the 1960s aroused the community's concern. Particularly since the beginning of the 1990s, grassland degradation is becoming increasingly obvious that seriously affected the production and daily life of local residents, and threat to the nation and even in the wider region of ecological safety. In the meantime, experts and scholars have done a lot of research work around the grassland degradation, and explore its causes. Research was formed universally accepted visual and deeper reasons, such as reclaiming grassland, over grazing, mineral development unreasonable and random digging, improper system, cultural convergence, population overload, deficit, for the conduct of the grassland ecological restoration projects provide a theoretical basis. However, through the years of construction and restoration ecology, grassland degradation although improved, but the overall situation was still serious. Now grassland region aroused the situation of degradation keeping pace with the construction, or even aroused associated many non-ecological issues, such as pastoralists' living standards stagnant, production into a state of confusion, community cultural changes.So, the author has done a systematic study on fundamental causes of Inner Mongolia grassland degradation, according to the grassland region economic and social surveys and a lot of historical data, and said in the poor grassland region, excessive pursuit of economic interests will inevitably lead the grassland degradation, when people neglecting and excluding aboriginal reasonable and advanced culture, chosen non-sustainable development approaches; also without the nomadic civilization protection of grassland, the people's behavior eventually led to the destruction of grassland ecology in poor grassland region who blind pursuit of economic interests by a non-sustainable manner. Finally, the authors concludes that unrestrained pursuit of a single value of the grassland system never achieve the recovery of grassland ecology that our initial purpose. We should fully understand the grassland value system, attach importance to the facilitating role of the nomadic culture on ecological, economic and social development of grassland region, and the grassland region should be incorporate into the national restriction zones and priority development areas.
