=== Flora and fauna ===
Alexandria is home to various plant and animal species, including 77 amphibian species, 62 reptile species, 114 bird species, and 83 mammal species, as well as nearly 107 species of tree and other vegetation. While not as diverse as other states, like Milan and neighbor Verona, Alexandria sports a very strong integration of urban area and nature. The coexistence of animals and people throughout the state has made Alexandria one of the most unique among the thirty-one. It is notable for its large green spaces, especially those of large cities like [[Calaine]], [[New Venceia]], and [[Portsmouth, Alexandria|Portsmouth]], where initiatives exist to restore many of the original nature.
Alexandria's commitment to preserving its natural resources is reflected in its thriving ecosystem that supports a diverse range of plant and animal species. The state is home to 77 amphibian species, 62 reptile species, 114 bird species, and 83 mammal species, as well as nearly 107 species of trees and vegetation. While Alexandria may not have the same level of biodiversity as other states, such as Milan or Verona, its unique approach to integrating urban areas with nature sets it apart.


Alexandria's SB270 dedicated 10% ({{convert|16390|km2|sqmi}}) of state land to nature and wildlife preserves. It is the largest allocation of land for this purpose, relative to a state's area, in the country.
Throughout the state, there is a strong emphasis on coexisting with animals and preserving natural habitats. This is evident in the large green spaces found in major cities like Calaine, New Venceia, and Portsmouth, where initiatives are underway to restore many of the original natural features.
 
To further its conservation efforts, Alexandria has enacted SB270, which designates 10% (approximately {{convert|16390|km2|sqmi|sp=us}}) of state land to be used as nature and wildlife preserves. This is the largest allocation of land for this purpose, relative to a state's area, in the entire country. Despite not having the same level of biodiversity as some other states, Alexandria is still recognized for its unique approach to conservation and coexistence with nature
