Abstract: On the one hand, the introduction of ecological workers mechanism is useful for improving the practice performance of the environmental protection and maintenance project. On the other hand, it also provides economic compensation to employees who are directly involved in ecological conservation and maintenance. Especially for the residents living in ecological vulnerability areas and having a decline in income and livelihood caused by environmental protection projects (such as implementing eco-compensation of returning farmland to/animal husbandry to forestry/grass), it not only raises awareness and participates in the protection, but also enhances the initiative and participation. Though listing ten ecology professional positions related to ecological watershed protection and ecological management, and taking the Shiyang River drainage as an example to conduct a survey about basin residents recognize situation of the ecological workers, and analyze the impact factors of influencing farmers becoming ecological workers. From the survey, it was found that reasons for supporting ecological workers mechanisms include:the main source of income; works near home; doing odd jobs in slack season to supplement the family income; not to earn money, just to protect the ecological environment; and make the benefit to future generations. In the reasons of rejecting receive the ecological workers mechanisms, the reason that "having more things at home and it's too busy to participate" is the most, and the reason that "salaries cannot be guaranteed", "ecological wage is low", "although trended, it's still too technical to do" centralized distribution, the reason of "I do not care whether the ecological environment is good or bad" is less, but the direct resistant answer "there is no reason, just do not want to participate" is in a large proportion.
