About the TFCAs

When the Berlin Treaty was signed in 1884, African territories were dealt like a pack of
cards to colonial powers. The national borders then proclaimed cut across tribal and clan groupings as well as animal migration routes, fragmenting ecosystems and destroying biodiversity. African countries in collaboration with the Peace Parks Foundation are
trying to rectify this situation through the establishment of Transfrontier Conservation
Areas and Transfrontier Parks, which are designed to restore these ecosystems
enabling the free movement of wildlife and tourists.

The following Transfrontier Conservation Areas have already been established:

!Ai/!Ais-Richtersveld TFP (Namibia, South Africa)
Great Limpopo TFP (Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe)
Kavango Zambezi TFCA (Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe)
Kgalagadi TFP (Botswana, South Africa)
Limpopo-Shashe TFCA (Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe)
Lubombo TFCA (Mozambique, South Africa, Swaziland)
Maloti-Drakensberg TFCA (Lesotho, South Africa)

What are TFCAs and TFPs?

“A Transfrontier Conservation Area
(TFCA) is an area straddling across
two or more international borders
where the natural and cultural
resources are collaboratively managed
by the governments/ authorities
involved. A Transfrontier Park (TFP) is
an area where two or more protected areas are adjoined and collaboratively managed across international borders.”
