The law, called the Wildlife and Natural Environment Protection Act, requires anyone in Pavia to not do anything that could cause environmental harm.
Crown Prince BritishWanderer II said the government has a duty to manage Pavia’s unique natural environment and keep it safe for future generations.
“The environment is incredibly important to Pavians”, he said.
“We need to protect such a vital part of our lives, which is why we made these laws to instil this protective nature towards our flora and fauna.”
“I expect all nobility and citizenry to take part in caring for our nature.”
National parks created
Under the law, parts of Pavia will be safeguarded as protected areas.
Two national parks have been designated under the law — the Fiorea national park to the southeast of the urban area and the Quiet Isle national park consisting of two islands to the west of the Pavia mainland.
The parks are intended to permanently preserve the natural condition of the area while providing opportunities for recreational activities and ecotourism.
The Pavian Government is investigating erecting fences and laying safe pathways through these parks to help tourists and citizens enjoy their visits.
Dwindling wildlife kept safe
There are also strong protections for key native species of Pavia.
Turtles, bees, pandas and azaleas are all protected from being taken, hurt or interfered with unless under the permission of a duke.
These protections come after calls to save the native turtle population by local activists.
