x. The Ministry of Natural Resources will monitor national wildlife numbers. The Ministry shall decide what numbers apply to each level of animal population and what Species receive the title "Endangered" and the protections the title affords. The Ministry shall control funding and see it is used where it is most required.
x.2 Best practice should be adopted in forming quotas and heavy penalties should be applied if these quotas are broken. Imposition of quotas should ensure that total bans on fisheries or game hunting of a specific species should be a rare event.
x.3 The Ministry of Natural Resources is charged with educating local populations in the benefits of conservation of species that are heavily hunted within Natopia's boundaries.
x.4 The Ministry of Natural Resources in conjunction with demesne administrators, non-governmental organisations, and environmental agencies shall constantly closely monitor wildlife numbers in their area of concern. These numbers shall be tallied yearly so they may show increases or decreases in the numbers of wildlife. If considerable decrease or a recurring trend of decrease in population is noted local conservation attempts shall be instituted at a national level aided by local populations and national agencies.
x.5 If local populations decrease to a worrying level then local Zoological and Marine specialists shall step in to capture and breed, in an attempt to reverse the decrease in numbers. Also, if larger populations of the same animal exist in another part of the world the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, working with the Ministry of Natural Resources, should take steps to secure new bloodlines of the endangered species from other countries, friend or foe. Local Bans shall be instituted on hunting of the endangered animal until such time as it is deemed safe to do so. Quotas shall then be applied to the hunting of the recovering species.
x.6 Where a species of animal has come dangerously close to world extinction levels, the Ministry of Natural Resources shall impose a Full Escalation of Protection to the species. All hunting of the species shall be expressly forbidden. Full funding shall be granted for the escalation of steps to conserve the species and to rebuild its population to an acceptable level for the species to recover. Criminal charges shall be brought against any individual or group in contravention to this.
