The paper calculates ecological footprint per capita and ecological capacity per capita in the Jilin province during 1998 and 2010 by using the ecological footprint theory, and analyzes the dynamic changes of ecological footprint per capita and ecological capacity per capita, and obtains development prediction model of ecological footprint per capita and ecological capacity per capita based on grey prediction model. The results indicate the ecological footprint per capita had increased continuously from 1.7841 hm2 per capita to 3.2013 hm2 per capita between 1998 and 2010. During this period, ecological capacity per capita dropped from 1.3535 hm2 per capita to 1.3028 hm2 per capita. Ecological deficit had increased from 0.4306 hm2 per capita to 1.8985 hm2 per capita that showed that the development of Jilin province was in an unsustainable status. The gray prediction model shows the ecological footprint per capita in the Jilin province will increase from 3.4833 hm2 per capita to 5.7022 hm2 per capita between 2011 and 2020, ecological capacity per capita will drop from 1.2978 hm2 per capita to 1.2676 hm2 per capita and ecological deficit will increase from 2.1855 hm2 per capita to 4.4346 hm2 per capita.
