Core focus and objectives of Trans-boundary Conservation Areas (TFCAs)
For quite a long while now, conservation has been faced with a series of challenges, wide ranging from local to National regional and then global. Significant among these challenges have been trans-boundary conflicts among adjacent countries in various parts of the globe. This has taken a toll on international relations between and among countries which share the same natural or artificial boundaries.
The emergence of TFCAs in the late 20th century sought to address challenges associated with trans-boundary conservation around the globe. Today, TFCAs have taken trend in application in various parts of the globe. TFCAs seek to enhance collaborative resource management among Academia, Local communities, Public and Private sector, most specifically for resources that span international boundaries.
TFCA networks aim to achieve its primary goals taking into account a series of action points; information exchange basing on experiences of the various stakeholders involved in the conservation pool, field visits to enhance practical understanding of conservation efforts and criteria, promote joint learning, information and knowledge management among both internal and external member states relevant for development of a regional repository for TFCA work, resource mobilization within both internal and external networks and strengthening collaboration and relationships.
Collaborative resource management is seemingly registering success as noted in the TFCA programs within registered member states in various parts of the globe. Further enhancement of the TFCA network operations is predictively the present and future of joint conservation among various nations in different parts of the globe.
