In a video presented by Xinhua News Agency on Sept. 16 (Watch the video below), many officials and experts have spoken highly of China's ecological red line initiative.

在新华社于9月16日发布的一个视频中（见文后），许多官员和专家对中国的生态保护红线创举给予了高度评价。

China's central authorities in 2017 issued guidelines for an ecological red line strategy, enforcing strict protection over certain zones.

2017年，中央权威机构发布有关生态保护红线战略的指导意见，对特定区域实施严格保护。

At a news conference in July, Cui Shuhong, head of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's nature and eco-conservation department, said China has essentially completed the drawing of ecological red lines across the country.

生态环境部自然生态保护司司长崔书红在今年7月份的一场新闻发布会上表示，全国生态保护红线划定工作基本完成。

The preliminary red lines encircle at least a quarter of the country's land, he noted, adding they have covered all of the key areas for biodiversity conservation.

崔书红称，初步划定的全国生态保护红线面积比例不低于陆域国土面积的25%，覆盖了全国生物多样性分布的关键区域。
