The landscape fractal index, patch feature index and landscape diversity index were calculated, then the spatial difference of the land which is suitable for wildlives was analyzed. The results show that the overall landscape is dominated by woodland, it is strongly connected and not fragmentized obviously on the whole, the landscape diversity is high, but the evenness is a little low; The northeastern and southeastern regions include extensive-strongly connected forests, therefor they are better for wildlives; Due to human disturbance, the woodlands joined Daiyun mountain Nature Reserve and Shiniu mountain Forest Park have been replaced by man-made landscapes such as arable land and constructions, which seriously hindered the animals´ migration and gene exchange. Intensification of corridor protection was recommended to ensure species´ migration.
