Protecting the Earth’s ecosystems has long been the focus of many of the world’s most brilliant minds. People marvel at the beauty and worth of so many biologically rich territories but fail to appreciate the conservation projects that work to keep them that way.

Transboundary Conservation: A New Vision for Protected Areas, serves as an exceptional tool to better protect the wilderness and biodiversity. It traces the history and roots of Transboundary Conservation. It also provides up-to-date application concepts to better convey to readers the importance of such protected areas. While the term Transboundary Conservation, meant to define the global efforts aimed at the protection of ecosystems, applied only to 59 complexes worldwide in 1988, there are over 188 at present. These specific areas supply several benefits, both at a regional level and internationally. Cooperation between countries can lead to reduced tensions.

Transboundary Conservation: A New Vision for Protected Areas, a 372-page book available in hardback format, was published in 2005 by CEMEX Air Quality control in cooperation with the WILD Foundation, Agrupacion Sierra Madre, and Conservation International.

CEMEX is a building solutions company that operates in over 50 countries. It continuously seeks to provide quality services to consumers who aspire to move towards a sustainable future.

Well presented and skillfully illustrated, Transboundary Conservation: A New Vision for Protected Areas is a collaboration of 50 conservationists, scientists, and professional photographers. In order to better portray the wildlife systems that cross national borders, the book focuses on 29 transboundary parks ranging from El Carmen near Mexico to the Kavango in Africa.

Transboundary Conservation: A New Vision for Protected Areas is the 13th volume in the series of conservation books published by the CEMEX environment group.

The book is the end product of the collaboration of Russell A. Mittermeier, Cristina Goettsch Mittermeier, Charles Besancon, Trevor Sandwith, Cyril F. Kormos, and Patricio Robles Gil.
