A large government program has been put in place, converting many important areas of {{wp|wildlife}} into {{wp|nature reserve}}s during the 80s and 90s in an attempt to end destruction of wildlife and illegal activities such as {{wp|hunting}}. Also, many institutions have been formed to help endangered species on the islands. Many local authorities also started their own programs and regulations in an attempt to limit environmental damage.  
Rapid urbanisation and industralisation during the course of the 20th century alongside {{wp|poaching}} by both foreigners and Esonian nationals took a toll on the Esonian enviornment, setting Esonice on course for desertification, deforestation and biodiversity loss with the prediction that by 2050 Esonice would lose a potential 30% of its biodiversity with droughts becoming commonplace according to a 1972 study. Government Programs have been put in place to prevent further damage to the enviornment, converting many vital areas of {{wp|wildlife}} into nature reserves and national parks starting from the 70s.

Ever since the introduction of Christianity to Esonice during the 17th century, many missionaries from places such as [[Tagmatium]] and [[Iverica]] came to Esonice trying to convert inhabitants. This left Esonice with a significant Christian minority of approximately 750,000 adherents, that make up 2.2% of the Esonian population. The majority Christian sect that is worshipped by the Esonian Christian minority is [[Tacolism|the Tacolic sect]]. Many individuals that identify themselves as Christian adherents are also migrants and non-Esonians, with the most significant being the Iberic communities of Esonice, specifically the Iverican community. Some Christian customs that were brought into Esonice by missionaries, migrants and Esonians converts, were partially adapted and secularised into Esonian society. Such as Valentine's Day that is thought of as similar to the [[Culture of Esonice#Celebrations|Sun and moon festival]], Christian-style marriage, and Christmas.

Pie chart showing various religions in Esonice

According to the 2020 population census, 75.3% of Esonian citizens adhere to the indigenous Ari-kokai faith, otherwise known as Arikaism. About 21.5% of Esonians identify themselves as atheist or agnostic. It is often hard to find a precise percentage of Arikaist believers as it is decentralised faith with no holy book or religious figurehead. Arikaism is also closely interconnected with Esonice's cultural heritage, meaning that even though some Esonians identify as irreligious, they still may participate in many Arikai rituals, temple visits, celebrations, festivities as adherence to cultural traditions remains high. A significant Buddhist community also exists in Esonice, brought in by Huang merchants and migrants that came to Esonice throughout history and often influenced the culture of Esonice.  

Ever since the introduction of Christianity to Esonice during the 17th century, many missionaries from places such as Tagmatium and Iverica came to Esonice trying to convert inhabitants. This left Esonice with a significant Christian minority of approximately 750,000 adherents, that make up 2.2% of the Esonian population. The majority Christian sect that is worshipped by the Esonian Christian minority is the Tacolic sect. Many individuals that identify themselves as Christian adherents are also migrants and non-Esonians, with the most significant being the Iberic communities of Esonice, specifically the Iverican community. Some Christian customs that were brought into Esonice by missionaries, migrants and Esonians converts, were partially adapted and secularised into Esonian society. Such as Valentine's Day that is thought of as similar to the Sun and moon festival, Christian-style marriage, and Christmas.
