Transfrontier Conservation Areas
Conservation across borders
Rivers, wildlife and natural systems do not stop at national borders. Transfrontier conservation areas bring neighbouring countries together around the protection and management of shared landscapes.
Peace Parks helped pioneer this approach in southern Africa and continues to support cooperation across five priority transboundary landscapes.
Peace Parks in transfrontier conservation
Peace Parks began by helping governments establish the agreements, institutions and plans required for transfrontier conservation.
Today, long-term management of strategically important protected areas is central to that role, alongside strengthening the ecological linkages between them.
- 14 transfrontier conservation areas
- 1 million+ km² of shared landscapes
- 16 SADC Member States
Peace Parks is focusing on five priority transboundary landscapes.
