The authors are grateful to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Government of Guizhou Province that together initiated and supported the Consultative Meeting on the Management and Sustainable development of Karst Environment and Ecology in Southwest China (Guiyang, September 19-26, 2003). It made it possible for us to have opportunity to investigate karst management and development in Southwest Guizhou, and to discuss issues and problems in Guiyang. We also thank the local officials introducing how the local people fight the fragile karst environment and telling us their doubts and misgivings.
