The researches on the ecological risk management have the common characteristics, namely, monitoring-based feedback, stakeholder input, more flexible and less linear processes and the importance of cost effectiveness in the context of limited resources. This paper summarizes the ecological risk management research progress at home and abroad in recent years. It finds that most of the researches are focus on the solutions to different kinds and levels ecological risk, which is based on the ecological risk assessment. Domestic existed researches on hazard risk management system and the building of mechanisms are relative mature, but the research on the mechanism of the regional ecological risk management is still needed. As a conclusion, this paper puts forward the principles and the concept of the ecological risk management and constructs the basic framework of the regional ecological risk management, including before risk, risk and after risk. The results would play a great significance on the theory and practices of ecological risk management.
