As maintained by the Postmaster-General of Falcar

The Royal Botanical Corporation currently stylised as The Royal Botanical Society of Falcar is the government department representing the Flora (plant life) and Fauna (animal life) within the Kingdom of Falcar. This role includes the maintenance of national parks as well as maintaining the collections of the Royal Botanic Garden of Falcar. The corporation was officially established through charter on the 30th of June 2016, as part of the Flora Act 2016.

Under the Flora Act 2016 Sec A Part II the Duties of the Company and Wildlife-General are;

4) To introduce and eradicate Plant, Animal and Fungi Species from Falcar;
5) To harvest pods, seeds and other items from Falcar;

The Pine of The Kanes was officially designated as culturally important. It was used as an example of wildlife from an island claim previously made by the nation. It comprised part of the monarchal collections of the Royal Botanical Garden and was listed as at risk during the 2017 Falcarian Census. The Species, Callitris preissii was the only plant within Falcar in the Genus Callitris. It was later reported to have died during the extreme heat of the 2018 summer.
