The environment project in the greater Mekong sub-region was the largest multi-field environmental cooperation launched by six countries (China, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia) in 2006, since the cooperation mechanism was established by Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1992. How to establish the indicators to assess the achievements of the biological corridor construction and the status of ecological environment quantitatively is one of the prerequisites for the future project ongoing phase. The popular Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework was employed in this study to assess the natural and human pressure, the healthy state of regional natural environment, and the subsequent response of ecosystem dynamic change in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Instead of using surveying based data as driving parameters, large amount of driving factors were retrieved from multi-source remote sensing data from 2000 to 2017, which provides access to larger updated and real-time databases, more tangible data allowing more objective goal management, and better spatially covered. The driving factors for pressure analysis included digital elevation, land surface temperature, evapotranspiration, light index, road network map, land cover dynamic change and land use degree, which were derived directly and indirectly from remote sensing. The indicators for state evaluation were composed of vegetation index, leaf area index, and fractional vegetation cover from remote sensing directly. The comprehensive response index was mainly determined by the pressure and state indicators. Through the analysis based on an overlay technique, it showed that the ecological environment deteriorated firstly from 2000 to 2010 and then started to improve from 2010 to 2017. The proofs indicated that the natural forest and wetland ecosystems were improved and the farmland area was decreased between 2000 and 2017. This study explored effective indicators from remote sensing for the ecological and environmental assessment, which can provide a strong decision-making basis for promoting the sustainable development of the ecological environment in the greater Mekong subregion, as well as the technological support for the construction of the biodiversity corridor.
