Abstract
There are a whole host of environmental issues for biota along the political borders. Many international borders, not only appear on maps, but are bounded by fences or other obstacles that fragment landscapes and ecosystems. More or less, many international borders have been caused ecological issues including biodiversity reduction; the fragmentation of habitat (particularly for endangered animals which both require wide open spaces to survive and maintain gene pool diversity); habitat destruction through land filling and extensive service roads and invasive vehicular patrolling (Cunningham, 2012). In these situations removal of border obstacles and creation of designated corridors to facilitate animal movement has sometimes proven to be a worthwhile solution. However, cross border conservation solutions have been used more. Typically solutions like this are called Transboundary Conservation Areas (TBCA’s) which is also known as peace park.
