The interna-onal workshop in Thayatal • Gathered 24 experts from 16 countries,
including protected area staff, government officials, NGO representa-ves, academia and donors
• Partnership with the Interna9onal Centre for Integrated Mountain Development established

Wide par-cipatory approach
Transboundary Conservation Specialist Group
Transboundary conserva0on is a process of coopera0on to achieve conserva0on goals across one or more interna0onal boundaries
Transboundary Conservation Specialist Group
Defining transboundary conserva-on
Type 1: Transboundary Protected Area Type 2: Transboundary Conserva9on Landscape and/or Seascape Type 3: Transboundary Migra9on Conserva9on Area Special designa-on: Park for Peace

Models of coopera-on in TBC
Model of coopera9on Example
Communica9on or Informa9on sharing
• Occasional or regular communica-on on ac-ons, problems, opportuni-es or other relevant issues
• Sharing of informa-on
Consulta9on • Seeking opinion, feedback or advice from each other • Coopera-ve process with the aim to harmonize management
Coordinated ac9on
• Jointly coordinated management ac-ons implemented within the sovereign areas of each party, that contribute to the conserva-on goals of the en-re transboundary ecosystem, e.g. monitoring of species and ecological processes occurs as regular ac-vity on the territory of each party, but the results contribute to conserva-on of species or ecosystems in the whole shared ecosystem
• This is a form of coopera-ve management
Joint implementa9on of decisions
• Jointly coordinated and implemented management ac-ons across the sovereignty boundaries, e.g. joint law enforcement patrols, joint fundraising and project implementa-on, the produc-on of marke-ng material that profiles the TBCA as a single en-ty, etc.
• This is a form of coopera-ve management
• Ecological • Socio-‐economic • Cultural • Enhanced efficiency of day-‐to-‐day management of common issues • Harmonisa-on of legal and policy frameworks • Enhanced poli-cal rela-ons and stability

Making the case for transboundary conserva-on
Transboundary Conservation Specialist Group
Transboundary conserva-on governance
• Varia-ons of transboundary conserva-on governance involving mul-ple actors and ranging from informal to formal arrangements
• There is no single model but several key characteris-cs that define good TB governance

Common stages of a transboundary conserva-on process
WCPA’s Framework
CONTEXT AND PLANNING INPUTS AND PROCESSES OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES
Stages DIAGNOSE DESIGN TAKE ACTION EVALUATE Goals Determine the need for
transboundary conserva9on Match the process to the
situa9on Secure resources
and implement ac9ons
Learn and adapt
Step 1 Iden-fy if there is a compelling reason to act
Determine who should lead the effort
Assess the capacity to implement plans Assess progress and outcomes
Step 2 Determine if there is a cons-tuency for change
Mobilize and engage the right people
Develop an ac-on plan
Determine if there is a need to con-nue
Step 3 Es-mate the scope of the issue Define the geographic extent Secure financial sustainability Adapt the management and ac-on plans
Step 4 Es-mate the capacity to work across boundaries
Nego-ate a joint vision and develop management objec-ves
Implement the plans
Communicate progress
