Environmental Conservation Organization
The Environmental Conservation Organization, also known as the E.C.O. or ECO (pronounced echo) is the Woodangian governmental body responsible for ecological concerns and wildlife protection. Woodangees strict laws regarding nature and wildlife give ECO a lot of power, and a lot of work to do, from regulating factories to hunting poachers and even feuding with the army over their animal mutant experiments and disregard for animal protection laws.
The current head of ECO is Garrett White, cousin of the current Secretary General of the Workers Party of Woodangees, under whom the organization has cracked down heavily on factory pollution, especially in his home province of Niccadia. ECO commands a very small but specially trained force of soldiers.
ECO tries desperately to portray itself as a benevolent and wholly good organization, but behind the scenes ECO is just as brutal as the rest of the Woodangian government, if not more so due to their belief that they are ultimately morally justified in their actions. ECO is responsible for multiple assassinations and murders of political rivals and party officials deemed opposed to the organizations goals. They also openly shoot and execute any captured poachers or anyone who breaks environmental protection laws on sight, seeing trial and conviction as frivolous formalities.
ECOs primary political rival is the Department of the Army, due to the Field Marshall's extralegal experiments on the wildlife and habit of releasing the results of said experiment's into the wild. Extermination of any mutants that somehow survive their own biology is one of ECO's primary functions.
