今年的8月15日，我们迎来了首个“全国生态日”。

On August 15th this year, we celebrate the first “National Ecology Day”.

18年前这一天，时任浙江省委书记习近平同志在余村考察时，首次提出“绿水青山就是金山银山”。

Eighteen years ago on this day, Xi Jinping, who was then the secretary of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, first proposed the concept of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” during an inspection tour in Yucun.

18年后的今日中国，绿水青山就是金山银山的重要理念深入人心。

Today, 18 years later in China, the important notion of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” has deeply taken root in people's hearts. 

共建生态文明，共享绿色未来。让我们来看看湖南在生态文明建设进程中所做的努力。

Jointly build ecological civilization and share a green future. Let's take a look at the efforts made by Hunan Province in the process of ecological civilization construction.

“衔远山，吞长江，浩浩汤汤，横无际涯，朝晖夕阴，气象万千。”900多年前，范仲淹在《岳阳楼记》中，生动描述了洞庭湖烟波浩渺的盛景。

More than 900 years ago, Fan Zhongyan vividly described the magnificent scenery of Dongting Lake in his essay Memorial to Yueyang Tower, “Dongting, nibbling at the distant hills and gulping down the Yangtze River, strikes all beholders as vast and infinite, presenting a scene of boundless variety with ever-changing views in the morning and evening.”

为守护好一江碧水，2020年起，地处长江与洞庭湖交汇处的岳阳，推动化工企业退出沿江，促进企业转型升级，使生态保护与经济发展得到兼顾，诗意美景长存。

In order to protect the clear waters, starting from 2020, Yueyang, located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, has been promoting the withdrawal of chemical enterprises along the river, encouraging their transformation and upgrade. This has ensured a balance between ecological protection and economic development, allowing the poetic and beautiful scenery to last forever.

2022年，湖南省共设立自然保护区175处，总面积149.32万公顷，为全省自然生态保护和生物多样性维护起到了关键作用。

In 2022, Hunan Province has established 175 nature reserves with a total area of 1.4932 million hectares, which plays a crucial role in the protection of natural ecology and biodiversity in the province.

2023年1月，湘江长沙望城段发现三头有“水中大熊猫”美称的长江江豚身影，是湘江水域环境持续向好的重要标志。

In January 2023, three Yangtze finless porpoises were spotted in the Changsha Wangcheng section of the Xiangjiang River. They are known as the “pandas in water” and their presence is an important sign of the continuous improvement of the Xiangjiang River's aquatic environment.

我省还将面向全省中小学生，推出专题大课《生态兴则文明兴》。激发中小学生参与生态环境保护的热情，从小牢固树立起生态文明意识。

Our province will also launch a special lecture entitled Ecological Prosperity Leads to Civilization Prosperity for primary and secondary school students across the province. This is to inspire students to participate in the protection of the ecological environment and to establish a strong awareness of ecological civilization from an early age.
