Description
Flora and fauna do not acknowledge border crossings—and neither can efforts to conserve the natural landscape. From the establishment of early peace parks to the designation of continental migratory pathways, a wide range of transborder mechanisms to protect biodiversity have been established by conservationists in both the public and private sectors.
This book offers lessons from successful cross-border conservation efforts such as the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative and the International Sonoran Desert Alliance. These case studies highlight the unique challenges of coordinating landscape-scale protective efforts. The book also looks at the evolving field of "conservation effectiveness," and the lessons that can be learned from modern history.
