	Gap year travel in Southern Africa. World's best responsible & ecotourism holidays
		The Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area (TFCA) was born out of the peace parks vision to establish a network of transfrontier conservation areas in Africa.
		The aim of the Lubombo TFCA is to link the Maputo Elephant Reserve in Mozambique through the Futi Corridor and the Lubombo Conservancy in Swaziland to the Tembe Elephant Park in South Africa, creating the first major elephant stronghold along Africa's eastern coastline.
		The aim of the project is to help develop the game reserves in the Lubombo Conservancy, with the long term aim to take down fences between all 5 reserves to create one big wildlife corridor.

		The PAs and remaining untransformed areas with moderate population density are largely concentrated in the northern part of Swaziland, where it is possible to outline a relatively well-defined, largely intact or near-intact corridor of natural landscape running west-to-east across the country (the "Northern Corridor").
		GEF funding is sought to support for conservation investments on the ground (the establishment of core conservation areas to protect globally significant biodiversity sites and linkages) and to build the technical capacity within and outside government to maintain them over the long term.
		The low population density within the "backbone" of the Corridors (comprised of the conservation, tourism development and linkage areas) is expected, because the Corridors were designed to incorporate as much as possible of the relatively untransformed and unsettled "protection-worthy" natural habitat areas of the country, with high biodiversity and nature tourism value.

	Vth World Parks Congress, 8-17 September 2003, Durban, South Africa
		Transboundary conservation areas throughout the world are increasing in number and size as governments recognize that species and ecosystems are not limited by political borders.
		In May 2000, the first transfrontier conservation area in Africa was signed into existence in a ceremony between the South African and Botswana presidents at the newly named Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
		Conservation corridors, explains Ponce, are a "new planning and management strategy that integrates parts of natural ecosystems, including natural protected areas, and areas being managed for other forms of land use to foster sustainable development practices, while maintaining the biological diversity and ecological processes of a given territory."

	The Quest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Lubombo Conservancy is the result of a project initiated in April 1999 with the aim of combining five small reserves in the north-east Lubombo Mountains, forming one large conservancy.
		The plans for the combined conservancy have been set in motion, but there are many research tasks to be completed and a vast amount of ecological data to be collected before the fences can be removed and we can watch the conservancy flourish.
		An understanding of what birds, mammals and plants exist in each area is required, enabling us to input the appropriate infrastructure and monitor the success of the venture, and with this comes the need for dedicated and enthused volunteers to complete the necessary fieldwork projects.

		The first transfrontier conservation park, launched last year, was the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which unites the Gemsbok National Park in Botswana with the Kalahari Gemsbok National Park in South Africa.
		This area may end up in the transfrontier conservation area, or it may become the site of eucalyptus plantations, a deep-sea port, and a railway link; its fate still hangs in the balance.
		This has damaged the Save Conservancy, a large block of former cattle ranches adjacent to Gonarezhou given over to wildlife in 1991, which was supposed to form part of the transfrontier park.

	Breaking down borders in Africa - SciDev.Net
		Grossman warns that in the long run, conservation objectives may be compromised if communities discover that they are unable to reap the anticipated social and economic benefits, and if their concerns are not adequately addressed.
		Despite some reservations, however, most conservationists agree that transfrontier parks are Southern Africa’s best hope of protecting its fragile environment and stimulating its tourism industry in a way that encourages fruitful collaboration with its neighbours, and does not sacrifice the needs of rural communities.
		These values state that protected areas play a vital role in sustainable development, and cannot be managed as conservation islands divorced from the social and economic context in which they exist.

		The first transfrontier park in southern Africa was declared early in the year 2000 by the presidents of Botswana and South Africa, and on May 12, 2000 the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park across the borders of the two countries was officially opened.
		The establishment of the transfrontier park is the first phase of the establishment of a bigger transfrontier conservation area measuring a unprecedented 100,000 square kilometres, sometimes called Africa's Superpark.
		Slightly different than a transfrontier park, a transfrontier conservation area is a cross-border region where the different component areas have different forms of conservation status, such as private game reserves, communal natural resource management areas, and even hunting concession areas.

		In Southern Africa the establishment of conservation areas have often been coupled with the removal of people from such areas.
		This is largely, although not solely attributable to the turbulent history of the area, especially the effects of the Mozambican Civil War.
		The local people are thus extremely dependent on the resource base of the area earmarked to become part of the Lubombo Transfrontier Conservation Area.
