The vast majority of Volkia falls under two ecoregions: the Iturian boreal and Yekarian mixed forests. Volkia's north is mostly covered by boreal forests from the northern regions of southern provinces to the north of [[Kologorsk Oblast]]. On the southern coast and within some of the interior, forests are generally characterized by mixed forests. In the extreme north, notably [[Norindzhik Oblast]] and [[Kurilsk Oblast]] ~~see~~ Volkian Montane Birch forests near the treeline and Mahigan Sea.

Volkia also has an extensive and diverse range of fauna. There are at least 70 native {{wp|mammal|mammalian}} species, 250 breeding bird species, over 75 fish species, and 15 reptile and frog species present today. Many of these species have migrated from neighboring countries thousands of years ago. Large and widely recognized mammal species found in Volkia are the {{wp|gray wolf|gray wolf}} (the national animal), {{wp|brown bear}}, {{wp|moose}}, and {{wp|wolverine}}. Some of the more striking birds include the {{wp|golden eagle}}, which is the national bird of Volkia, the {{wp|snowy owl}}, and the {{wp|gray heron}}. Of the more than 75 fish species, the {{wp|northern pike}}, {{wp|perch}}, {{wp|trout}}, and others are plentiful in Volkia's rivers and lakes. Fish present along the coast include {{wp|cod}}, {{wp|flounder}}, {{wp|turbot}}, and numerous others. {{wp|Atlantic salmon|Iturian salmon}} remains a favorite of {{wp|fly rod}} enthusiasts.
