“…All border areas have to contend with certain levels of bureaucracy. This, however, confirms the noncollaborative principles driven by traditional political-border practices as stated by Timothy (2000) and which can impede essential grassroots problem solving activities (Ingram and Milich, 1994). In addition, such practices equally affect levels of financial and administrative autonomy in the management of the Visitor Management in Transboundary Protected Areas 391 area.…”

“…As borders are usually viewed as geographically and philosophically (socioeconomically and politically) marginal locations they frequently fail to receive the necessary funding required to develop a transboundary protected area (Blake, 1998). Ingram and Milich (1994) demonstrate that such peripherality has also marginalised border communities' interests and concerns during the development of policy. This implies that principles for inclusion, which provide recognition of stakeholders' views and opinions, are frequently ignored.…”

“…This implies that principles for inclusion, which provide recognition of stakeholders' views and opinions, are frequently ignored. Thus by itself, this issue may well have contributed to the design of 'national and state policies which are at odds with border needs and priorities', subsequently, forcing resource managers to work with 'different sets of laws, institutions, and decision-making processes that are unresponsive, complicated and impede co-operation' (Ingram and Milich, 1994).…”

Although the objectives for transboundary protected areas are often clear, in practice the development and management of these areas, particularly for tourism, are complex. Often explained, in part, by cultural and political differences evident among border partners, this complexity adds to the challenge of managing these often pristine natural areas for tourism. Through a casestudy of Peneda-Geres National Park, Northern Portugal, which forms part of the Transfrontier Park of Geres-Xures, and which encompasses the Natural Park of Baixa-Limia Serra do Xures of Galicia, Spain, this paper sets out to explore the effectiveness of transboundary partnerships for purposes of visitor management in transboundary protected areas. The paper introduces 12 core guidelines, developed by the authors, for transboundary visitor management and highlights the range of constraints and limitations that impede effective visitor management. Thereafter, the paper compares and contrasts the 12 core guidelines with the visitor management 'actions' and 'decisions', and their underlying rationale, taken by the transboundary protected area authorities of the Transfrontier Park of Geres-Xures. The paper concludes with an assessment of the success to date of the Portuguese authorities in their attempts to meet the core guidelines. Subsequently, a preliminary assessment as to the implementation of further guidelines for the future is conducted. A Portuguese perspective is emphasised throughout this paper, owing to recent developments in Portuguese National Policy aimed towards the promotion of nature-based tourism, efforts in the establishment and embetterment of a network of Protected Areas and the political and economic importance of cross-border activities for northern Portugal and Galicia, Spain.

“…Urbanization patterns (and related resource consumption) are complicated by the binational nature of the watershed. Patterns of urban development differ across the border at Ambos Nogales, dictated in part by geographically external economic forces and policy decisions (Ingram et al 1994;Norman et al 2009). …”

Biodiversity losses and conservation trade-offs: assessing future urban growth scenarios for a North American trade corridor

The Sonoran Desert and Apache Highlands ecoregions of North America are areas of exceptionally high plant and vertebrate biodiversity. However, much of the vertebrate biodiversity is supported by only a few vegetation types with limited distributions, some of which are increasingly threatened by changing land uses. We assessed the impacts of two future urban growth scenarios on biodiversity in a binational watershed in Arizona, USA and Sonora, Mexico. We quantified and mapped terrestrial vertebrate species richness using Wildlife Habitat Relation models and validated the results with data from National Park Service (NPS) biological inventories. Future urban growth, based on historical trends, was projected to the year 2050 for (1) a 'Current Trends' (CT) scenario and (2) a 'Megalopolis' (MEGA) scenario that represented a transnational growth corridor with open-space conservation attributes. Based on CT, 45% of existing riparian woodland (267 of 451species) and 34% of semi-desert grasslands (215 of 451 species) will be lost, whereas in the MEGA scenario, these types would decline by 44% and 24%, respectively. Outcomes of the two models suggest a trade-off at the taxonomic class level: CT would reduce and fragment mammal and herpetofauna habitat, while MEGA would result in loss of avian-rich riparian habitat.

“…Few would contest the need for responsiveness to local and regional conditions, problems, constituencies, perspectives and interests. When such considerations are disregarded, tensions are exacerbated and solutions become more elusive (Ingram, Milich, & Varady, 1994). When resources cross (above or beneath) national boundaries, national interests necessarily come into play and often dominate resource governance.…”

To understand transboundary groundwater governance in the South American Guarani Aquifer System, we surveyed global and regional experts about the region's groundwater quantity and quality, ownership and rights, and regulation and administration. Respondents (1) perceived groundwater quality and withdrawal as under-regulated, and relevant information and data as inadequate;(2) suggested that contamination and overdrafting remain mostly incipient and localized along international borders; and (3) viewed groundwater as a shared resource administered by the state for the public, rather than as private property. Respondents suggested that while there is progress towards implementing a formal transboundary aquifer agreement, local-to-nationalscale governance is important.
