A transboundary protected area (TBPA) is a protected area that spans boundaries of more than one country or sub-national entity, where the political border sections that are enclosed within its area are abolished. This includes removal of all human-made physical boundaries, such as fences, allowing free migration of animals and humans within the area. A boundary around the area may however be maintained to prevent unauthorised border crossing. Such areas are also known by terms such as transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) or peace parks.〔(Global Transboundary Protected Areas Network )〕 The Global Transbounday Protected Areas Network cites five different types of TBPAs as follows:〔(A Typology of Transboundary Protected Areas )〕 * Two or more contiguous protected areas across a national boundary * A cluster of protected areas and the intervening land * A cluster of separated protected areas without intervening land * A trans-border area including proposed protected areas * A protected area in one country aided by sympathetic land use over the border The preservation of traditional animal migration patterns, ensuring sufficient food and water sources for population growth, are the primary reason for the creation of peace parks. Peace parks however also encourage tourism, economic development and goodwill between neighbouring countries, as well as facilitating travel of indigenous inhabitants of the area.〔(EUROPARC Federation, ''Transboundary Parks'' ) Accessed 11 May 2011〕 ==Established 'peace parks'== On 1 February 1997, Anton Rupert, together with Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Nelson Mandela founded Peace Parks Foundation as a not-for-profit organisation to facilitate the establishment of transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs), also called peace parks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transboundary protected area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
