Today, over 3,000 protected areas around the world contribute to the
protection of biodiversity, peaceful relations between neighbouring
countries, and the well-being of people living in and around the protected
environs. Historical and geo-political constraints are disappearing in a
new spirit of collaboration to address common issues confronting
ecosystems, species, and communities. Managing across boundaries is seen
as the only way to ensure the long-term viability of ecological systems
and sustainable communities.
Current international thinking in this area is reflected in this
collection of essays by park managers, biologists, scholars, scientists,
and researchers. From Waterton-Glacier International Park to the European
Alps, and Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia, Parks, Peace, and
Partnership: Global Initiatives in Transboundary Conservation provide
illustrative examples of the challenges and new solutions that are
emerging around the world.
