 ===Biodiversity and environment===
-The Cartadanian ecology is {{wp|megadiverse}} and the country is thought to have the largest diversity of flora and fauna outside of Crona (however, this measure does include its Cronan territories). The megadiversity is in large part due to the varied geography and climate, which in turns causes a large variation in biomes available for ecological development. Many of the species have found themselves becoming symbols of the state and territorial governments where they are found. The Cartadanian Harpy eagle is both the national bird and the national land animal of Cartadania, while the {{wp|Orcinus orca|Urlazian Orca}} is the national marine mammal, both of which are enduring symbols of the country itself.

+The Cartadanian ecology is {{wp|megadiverse}} and the country is thought to have the largest diversity of flora and fauna outside of Crona (however, this measure does include its Cronan territories). The megadiversity is in large part due to the varied geography and climate, which in turns causes a large variation in biomes available for ecological development. Many of the species have found themselves becoming symbols of the state and territorial governments where they are found. The Harpy eagle is both the national bird and the national land animal of Cartadania, while the {{wp|Orcinus orca|Urlazian Orca}} is the national marine mammal. Cartadania is home to 53,000 known species of plants, 3,000 species of freshwater fish, and nearly 700 species of mammals. It also has one of the highest counts of bird and reptile species on the planet, at 1,800 and 740, respectively. Fungi are very prevalent throughout the many regions but the exact species count is unknown. Researchers estimate that Cartadania supports a rich and diverse array of plant and animal species, with a potential total nearing four million, primarily composed of invertebrates. The larger mammal population includes carnivorous species such as pumas, jaguars, ocelots, bush dogs, and foxes, as well as herbivores like peccaries, tapirs, anteaters, sloths, opossums, and armadillos. The southwestern region is particularly abundant in deer populations, and Cartadania's various rainforests host a wide variety of New World monkey species.

+Cartadania boasts an extensive network of natural reserves, including 51 national parks and numerous other federally administered parks, forests, and wilderness zones. These collectively encompass the majority of government-owned land, emphasizing conservation efforts, although a small fraction is allocated for oil and gas extraction, with military activities utilizing approximately 0.86% of the total land area.
-There are 72 national parks and hundreds of other federally managed parks, forests, and wilderness areas. Altogether, the government owns about 30% of the country's land area. Most of this is protected, though some is leased for oil and gas drilling; about .86% is used for military purposes.
+Environmental concerns have occupied a growing position on Cartadania's national agenda since 1984, gaining even more prominence following the significant 2003 Escondido Point Oil Spill. These matters encompass a range of topics, including debates surrounding oil and nuclear energy usage, strategies for mitigating air and water pollution, the economic ramifications of wildlife protection initiatives, challenges related to logging and deforestation, and Cartadania's international contributions to the global effort against climate change. Various federal and state agencies play essential roles in shaping policies and hosting discussions related to these concerns, with a particular focus on coastal regions.
-Environmental issues have been very low but have been on the national agenda since 1984. Environmental controversies include debates on oil and nuclear energy, dealing with air and water pollution, the economic costs of protecting wildlife, logging and deforestation, and international responses to global warming. Many federal and state agencies are involved. The most prominent is the [[Department of Environmental Integrity (Cartadania)|Department of Environmental Integrity]] (DEI or DIA), created by presidential order in 1984. The idea of wilderness has shaped the management of public lands since the 1960s, with the many federal regulations and acts being passed. The Endangered Species Act of 1940 is intended to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats, which are monitored by the Bureau of Game, Wildlife, and Inland Fisheries.
+One of the central entities involved in environmental stewardship is the Department of Environmental Integrity (DEI or DIA), established by presidential decree in 1984. The concept of wilderness has substantially influenced the management of public lands in Cartadania since the 1960s, leading to the implementation of numerous federal regulations and legislative acts designed to conserve and safeguard natural areas. The Endangered Species Act of 1940 is a cornerstone of these efforts, aiming to safeguard threatened and endangered species along with their habitats. These endeavors are vigilantly overseen by the DEI's Bureau of Game, Wildlife, and Inland Fisheries.
