  [Explanation] The Yangtze River Rare Fish Conservation Center was opened to the public for the first time on that day. According to scientific researchers, the center has established a Chinese sturgeon protection system covering the entire cycle of broodstock breeding, seed breeding, and migration monitoring. So far, more than Chinese sturgeons have been released. 5.04 million tails, effectively supplementing Chinese sturgeon species resources in the natural environment.

  This is the first time I have seen a Chinese sturgeon. I used to see what it looks like and how it looks in textbooks. I was shocked and surprised when I saw it for the first time. I saw it (feeling) cute. I used to think of the Three Gorges. The project has the functions of flood control, sand control and power generation. Now the Three Gorges (Group) has made a lot of contributions and efforts to protect the ecology in the Yangtze River Basin.

  [Explanation] The Three Gorges Project is a key backbone project for the management, development and protection of the Yangtze River. It has huge comprehensive benefits such as flood control, power generation, shipping, and water resources utilization.

The Three Gorges Project has not only brought together the hard work of the Three Gorges builders, but also the selfless dedication of millions of immigrants and the strong support of the people across the country.

  Looking at the Three Gorges Project, we are deeply impressed. The Three Gorges Project is not only a century-old water conservancy project, it is also a large-scale project that (makes) our Three Gorges migrants proud, and it is also a large-scale project that can (bring) help and support for our Three Gorges migrants in the future. engineering.

  [Explanation] The construction and operation of the Three Gorges Project has fundamentally changed the flood control situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and opened a new chapter in the flood control and water resources management of the Yangtze River. The energy system of China has played an irreplaceable role and has made outstanding contributions to the promotion of green power production and ecological environmental protection in my country.

  (In recent years) we have continued to promote the production of green and clean energy in the Yangtze River. At the same time, we have opened up the new business segment of Yangtze River Protection. Now (Three Gorges Group) is a true producer of clean and green products.

  [Explanation] It is understood that in the new era, the Three Gorges Group will shift from “constructing the Three Gorges and developing the Yangtze River” to “managing the Three Gorges and protecting the Yangtze River”. It will play a fundamental role in serving the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and work together to protect the Yangtze River. China will give full play to the main role of the backbone, and strive to achieve clean energy and the ecological environment of the Yangtze River.

  [Concurrent] Lei Mingshan, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Chairman of the Three Gorges Group

  During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, we want to further increase our efforts to give full play to the main role of the main battlefield of green development. At the same time, we want to build a clean energy corridor that complements the "water and scenery" of the Yangtze River Basin in the construction of large hydropower. Comprehensive energy and smart energy will be further upgraded in the green development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
