As much as ten percent of Alfaria's land area is dedicated solely for nature reserves and parks. Three-fourths of naturally occurring flora and fauna are are now only found in dedicated nature preserves, including the Alfaria Botanic Gardens, among the most popular attractions in the state. There has been a substantial decline in natural space owing in part to extensive urbanization of limited land available. To combat environmental loss, the Alfarian government, starting in 2000 AD has set aside as much at 10 % of the city-state's land to preserve, protect, and cultivate local flora and fauna.

There are an estimated 10,974 species of vascular plants in Amaldorei, of which 4,078 are considered endangered. An estimated 3,65 species of mammals, 1,284 species of bird, 487 species of reptiles, and 113 species of amphibians native to Eska Alfaria.
