## Planned introductions of Animals

* White-sided jackrabbits (Lepus callotis) are planned to be introduced to the southern portion of Kosna as well as the foothills of the mountains spanning Hartnett and Kosna for biodiversity
* Gray four-eyed opossums (Philander opossum) are planned to be introduced to the east coast of Pasia and Sharikba's metropolitan area for biodiversity
* Pygmy spotted skunks (Spilogale pygmaea) are planned to be introduced to Mecirhan and southern Kosna for biodiversity and pets
* Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are already present in Kosna but in extremely small numbers and are drastically being replaced by the introduced culpeo (*Lycalopex culpaeus)* which was introduced for hunting and biodiversity, but the red fox is planned to be introduced in large numbers as high as 3,000 individuals in able to maintain a healthy population again and will be present along northern Kosna, Hartnett, and Obnivir
* Southern cricket frogs (Acris gryllus) are planned to be introduced for use in aquatic gardens and pet trades, as well as hoping to diversify the marshlands of Kosna that appear to be nearly empty of wildlife
* Oriental fire-bellied toads (Bombina orientalis) are planned to be introduced for use to diversify the marshlands of Kosna, Hartnett, Obnivir, the southeast coast of Minuka, and the northern tip of Mecirhan in large numbers up to nearly 4,000 from Tamaya and Seyeong
* Oriental magpies (Pica serica) are planned to be introduced to the foothills of the southern slope of the Spanning Mountains which is alongside Kosna and Hartnett's border to diversify the area of the mountains; there will be a estimated 300 released
* Oriental badgers (Meles leucurus) are planned to displace the absent common badgers (Meles meles) which are not present in southeastern Parania, diversify the wildlife of the country and will be introduced mainly throughout the north portion and throughout marshy and wetter areas to control rodent and rat populations
* *Photinus pyralis*, are planned to be introduced to southern water regions of Sharikba and the northern tier of Mecirhan as well as marshy areas of southern Kosna to diversify swamp life, they are expected to be in great numbers in Kosna due to almost paralleling regions of Kutwhe and the west coast of Nareemia where they may arrive from

## Planned introductions of Plants

* Sensitive plants (Mimosa pudica) are thought to be able to tolerate the subtropical-like temperatures and humid marshes of the southeastern coast of Minuka and parts of southern Kosna.
* Coconut palms (Cocos nucifera) are planned to be naturalized along the southern forests of the country and be used for ornamental display, diversity, and other uses, will also be introduced in the northern half of Mecirhan.
* Giant taros (Alocasia macrorrhizos) are planned to be naturalized in the subtropical-like, humid, marshes of the southeastern coast of Minuka, southern Kosna and the northern tier of Mecirhan, as well as portions of the east coast of Kafaniyat.
* Red maples (Acer rubrum) are planned to be naturalized along the northern tier of Kosna, inland Hartnett, and the eastern portion of Obnivir to diversify tree life in the region.
* Starvation cactuses (Opuntia polyacantha) are planned to be introduced and naturalized in most parts of the country except for the mountainous areas, planned to diversify natural regions.
* Great Basin bristlecone pines (Pinus longaeva) are planned to be introduced for diversity and ornamental plants in the northern tier of the country and alongside foothills of the mountains.
