We hope to help contribute to the conservation and proliferation of our planet’s one, wonderful resource- nature itself.
The environmental budget makes up %15 of Layvian expenditure, and the Department of Environmental Affairs would like to donate an annual %5 of that budget to the ECO in exchange for ensuring that ECO laws are strictly enforced and that efforts will be coordinated to help move endangered species down to lesser concern classifications.
Additionally, we wish to catalog some of our endemic species with the ECO, as well as add our Beryl Rainforest to the list of ECO Protected Sites.

The Beryl Rainforest covers 18,937 square miles (49,046.6 square kilometers) and provides home to nearly 80% of the nation’s biodiversity. It is imperative that this site be fully protected by both the Layvian government and the international community.

 Dr. Hellen Truant Department of Environmental Affairs The People's Republic of Layvia Dear Dr. Truant, On behalf of the ECO Council and the entire Environmental Conservation Organization, please accept our deep appreciation of your commitment and support for ECO and its projects. We are immensely grateful for the generous financial contribution your government has decided to provide ECO. We take this humbling confidence as a reminder to work hard in providing our members, our partners with the appropriate guidance, support and capabilities which help execute policies and projects that protect and conserve our environment and our natural resources. We reiterate as well our commitment to transparency and accountability, as with all financial contributions provided ECO. Financial records will be provided, as to the rest of the ECO Council, to ensure the appropriate use and spending of ECO's budget and resources. With regard to the endemic species you have sent our Red List Authority, I have attached the accompanying evaluation of the appropriate Specialist Groups. You will find that the species you have identified, are now properly cataloged in our Red List, per the designation given by the Red List Authority. Emerald Anaconda - Vulnerable Minervian Melody Owl: - Least Concern Bixbite Toucan - Least Concern Carver’s Salamander - Vulnerable Gold-Footed Morning Toad - Vulnerable Morganite Moth - Least Concern White Spotted Manic Moss - Least Concern Minervian Sundew - Least Concern As a final matter for discussion, I have been informed by the Center for Protected Areas (CPA) that following an exhaustive evaluation of the Beryl Rainforest's application for inclusion in the Protected Sites program, the CPA has resolved approve the same. Bery Rainforest joins a special list of areas around the world, identified for its importance to ecosystems and conservation efforts, and now protected for its sustainable use and preservation for the continued enjoyment of all. With its designation as a Protected Site, human visitation, use and impacts will now be strictly controlled and limited to ensure protection of the conservation values per the appropriate provisions of the Jobe Protocol. Again, ECO thanks you for your continued support of our efforts. Should you have further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to write to us again.
