- Title
Transboundary Conservation in the Big Bend.
- Authors
Kelley, Geoff
- Abstract
Six protected areas—three in Texas and three in Mexico—comprise the greater Chihuahuan Desert Transboundary Conservation Corridor (CDTBCC), an area of millions of acres. This conservation network contains multiple levels of social and political organization that may complicate the implementation of policies that attempt to reach across international, institutional, and cultural boundaries. Noting Parry's 1852 characterization of the region as a "most singular country," contextual analyses of historical, political, economic, and cultural factors underpinning conservation and localized natural resource use in the region are presented, which reflect the author's preliminary findings to date on the topic of transboundary conservation in the region.
