The protagonist is captain of a group called the Rangers. One of their duties is finding endangered species' eggs, in order to restore the ecosystem. With the Crystal Encroachment threatening the ecosystem, and invasive monsters running amok, Rathalos are not the only species considered endangered.
Invasive monsters are incredibly strong, able to threaten other monsters and take over their territory. Dens in their territory sometimes contain endangered species' eggs.
Invasive monsters can't be easily defeated by normal means, so instead the Rangers search for clues to cause the monster to retreat to its den, putting a new twist on the classic Stories gameplay.
After hatching an endangered monster, release it into the wild, allowing it to put down roots and rebuild the species. When a monster population has been restored, their eggs can be found and hatched into Monstie partners. Hatching monsters and returning them to the wild is a practice the Rangers call Habitat Restoration. It can be performed not only with endangered species, but with regular monsters as well.
Raising the Ecosystem Rank can even allow you to find monsters imbued with that area's element.
For example, a monster which is normally thunder element may be influenced by the fire element of the area in which it is hatched, and be born with fire skills. This even affects the monster's appearance.

He's a member of Gaul's elite intelligence corps, and carries out investigations and communication duties under his orders.
A true expert in monsters, having spent more than half his Rider career studying them. His knowledge is so deep, he's regarded as a walking Monsterpedia. 
A founding member of the Rangers, along with Amara. An old hand with geological surveys, she's highly experienced in the use of bombs and gunpowder. She's never understood why Amara did what she did ten years ago, and joins the protagonist's journey in order to discover the truth of why Amara left Azuria.
The loyal retainer of Vermeil's queen, he is instrumental in carrying out her will. In the shadows, he directs espionage units in various areas, trying to strengthen Vermeil's power by any means necessary. He comes to Azuria with Eleanor in order to present the idea of crossing the Meridian to Azuria's king, but is rejected.
Ever since the covenant was formed after the civil war, he, a Wyverian, and his Magnamalo, Wardenfang, have guarded the gate at the Meridian. Seeing the protagonist and their Skyscale Rathalos, he is reminded of Amara from ten years ago.
The leader of Sheparden, a village that reveres Canynes. Having lost their original home to the Encroachment, they've now settled near the Meridian. As the numbers of their Canyne wards decrease, they were prepared to accept the end of their way of life as they know it. However...

This floating Elder Dragon is colossal enough to have an ecosystem of flora living on it. It consumes the earth and swallows forests whole as it wanders in search of rich soil. It's feared in Sheparden as "a force of nature." Rather than wandering about, this particular specimen has long resided in the Canalta Timberland. A portion of its body is crystallized.
