Case Study: Transboundary Conservation in the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands
This case study published in the University of California Press: Case Studies in the Environment demonstrates how a diversity of social, political, and economic forces in border regions can create unique pressures on wildlife habitat. Conservation of landscapes that host a wide range of land uses, jurisdictions, and competing for management goals can be challenging, especially when considering habitat needs of wide-ranging species. However, there are unique opportunities when vested groups of private landowners and public land managers, even across international borders, find common ground in conservation.
