Transboundary Protected Area
A transboundary protected area (TBPA) is an ecological protected area that spans boundaries of more than one country or sub-national entity. Such areas are also known as transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) or peace parks. TBPAs exist in many forms around the world, and are established for various reasons. The preservation of traditional animal migration patterns, ensuring sufficient food and water sources for population growth, is a critical reason for the creation of TBPAs.

Types of transboundary protected areas TBPAs exist in various types of geographic configuration, with various levels of ecological protection, and with various levels of international cooperation.
