Abstract The relationship between poverty and environment is multi-dimensional, complex, varied,and locally specific, requiring detailed data and supporting cases, as well as new perspectives, to be understood. Taking Changting County in south-east China as an empirical case study, within the analytical framework of stakeholders, i. e. the government, the public, enterprise, non-government organizations (NGOs), and international organizations, this article aims to explore function mechanism of stakeholders. In the process of comprehensive treatment of soil and water erosion, especially since 2000,Changting County had achieved remarkable achievements in ecological restoration, meanwhile made great success in poverty alleviation. Different stakeholders played important roles respectively in the “win-win”process between environmental protection and poverty reduction, and their participation determined the effectiveness of soil and water conservation. This study provides a new perspective for exploring the relationship between poverty and environment, and is benefit to understand the internal mechanisms of this relationship, as well as to provide a reference for similar areas to devise poverty-alleviation strategies and environmental-protection policies.
