Although woodlands remain, they too are monitored and coppiced, and the species which shelter within have survived because they are considered either useful or harmless. Now that Catullans can afford to look beyond the limits of their world for resources, a few factions within Catullan society have called for a concerted effort to preserve and revive the few remnants of Cendo Prae's original biodiversity-- even to the extent of advocating time travel to acquire viable specimens. But a public policy defining the steps to be taken in regards to this issue has yet to emerge. <br> | Although woodlands remain, they too are monitored and coppiced, and the species which shelter within have survived because they are considered either useful or harmless.

Cendo Prae's aquatic biomes have fared much better; although some species have suffered from excess harvesting, the extreme depths of Catulla's oceans have protected many others. Those depths have yet to be fully explored. As a result, for most Catullans, the idea of wild and dangerous fauna is linked with large predator fish and amphibious or marine mammals, rather than terrestrial species. Cendo Prae has a surprisingly low population of reptiles and birds; many of the ecological niches normally occupied by those phyla have been taken over by mammals instead.<br> | |||
