Tierrador was one of the first countries to implement a regulatory service regarding national parks. The [[National Parks Development Authority]] (NPDA) is the governing body for 56 national parks across Tierrador, and hundreds of federally organized parks, forests, and federally-recognized Protected Wildlife Areas (PWA), which are organized and funded by the NPDA, along with many other organizations. The federal government owns close to a quarter of land throughout the nation, prominently located in the western regions. These are referred to as “Federal Land” and are typically protected, but some areas are leased for various activities, such as oil drilling, cattle ranching, mineral extraction, timber mining and processing, agriculture, and military operations. | Tierrador was one of the first countries to implement a regulatory service regarding national parks.
