This study used remote sensing images from 1996 to 2016 as the main data source, and selected the average annual ecosystem type net change rate, ecosystem type transfer matrix, and comprehensive index of land development degree, to analyze the macro change of the ecosystem pattern in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in the past 20 years. Quantitative analysis was performed on amplitude, rate, type of transition, and degree of disturbance of human activities. The results reveal the spatial and temporal changes of the Xishuangbanna ecosystem and their regional differentiation. The results showed that (1) from 1996 to 2016, Xishuangbanna as a whole was dominated by forest ecosystems and rubber ecosystems, followed by tea, farmland, built-up area, and water ecosystems. (2) During 1996–2016, the ecosystem in Xishuangbanna accounted for more than 99% of the total area has not changed. From 1996 to 2003, the transfer of ecosystem types in Xishuangbanna was mainly between forest and rubber ecosystem. (3) The extent of land development and utilization in Xishuangbanna in the past 20 years is relatively low, slightly lower than the national average, and the overall level of land use is at a medium level of utilization, and over time, the degree of disturbance of human activities has shown an increasing trend.
