Environmental Protection & Ecology
| Initiative | Details |
|---|---|
| Territorial Stewardship | Each clan guards its territory. Hunting and mining conducted sustainably overhunting triggers clan migration to allow recovery. |
| Beast Conservation | War-Boars and Thunder-Hawks bred carefully. Wild populations protected during breeding season. The Code of the Hunt mandates no more than 30% of a herd may be taken yearly. |
| Iron-Vein Reverence | The Great Iron Vein is never mined it is sacred. Other deposits are worked in rotation. |
| Scavenging Ethic | Orcs prefer to scavenge and repurpose materials from defeated enemies rather than extracting new resources. |
The Reclamation Projects
Following the Great Reclamation of 1150 AR, ongoing restoration efforts include:
- The Ash-Vein Restoration
replanting iron-bark forests across 200 square kilometers of over-mined plains, overseen by Sector-Keeper Thurga Root-Binder. - The Rumble-Canyon Cleaning
removing debris and toxic runoff from abandoned mining operations to restore natural water flow. - The Stone-Forest Border Agreement
a tentative program of shared stewardship with the Sylvan Elves, where mixed Orc-Elf teams monitor logging and replanting.
