    About this ebook

    Conservationists have long been aware that political

    boundaries rarely coincide with natural boundaries.

    From the establishmof 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.

    Conservation Across Borders presents a broad

    overview of the history of transboundary conservation

    efforts and an accessible introduction to currissues surrounding

    the subject. Through detailed examinations of two initiatives, the

    International Sonoran Desert Alliance (ISDA) and the Yellowstone to

    Yukon Initiative (Y2Y), the book helps readers understand the benefits

    and challenges of landscape-scale protection.

    In addition to discussing general concepts and the specific experience

    of ISDA and Y2Y, the author considers the emerging concept of "conservation

    effectiveness" and offers a comparative analysis of the two

    projects. The book ends with a discussion of the complex relationships

    among civil society, governments, and international borders.

    By considering the history, goals, successes, and failures of two divergent

    initiatives, the book offers important insights into the field of

    transborder conservation along with valuable lessons for those studying

    or working in the field.
