Transboundary Conservation Areas
Transboundary Conservation Areas (TBCAs) are regions that span across national borders, where countries collaborate to protect shared ecosystems and wildlife. These areas aim to conserve biodiversity, promote sustainable land use, and enhance ecological connectivity between habitats. TBCAs often include national parks, wildlife reserves, and other protected areas that are managed jointly by neighboring nations.
The establishment of TBCAs can help address environmental challenges that cross borders, such as habitat loss and climate change. By working together, countries can share resources, knowledge, and best practices, leading to more effective conservation efforts. Examples of TBCAs include the Wilderness Area in Southern Africa and the Great Bear Rainforest in Canada and the United States.
