WHEREAS

Trans-frontier Conservation Areas (TFCA) – also called bi-national, peace parks, etc. – are:

• important to respect ecological integrity and assure the health of ecosystem services to human society;

• powerful national and international models of cooperation, collaboration, and peace;

• facilitate many social, political, economic and other benefits, and

• symbolize a future world for which we strive, one of ecological integrity, respect of humans for the natural world, and recognition of the importance of good political relations between all nations.

THEREFORE

Mexico, as a leader in the developing world, and its geopolitical neighbors, can assist their own citizens, and also make a statement of significant international importance, by formally recognizing the practical and symbolic importance of TFCAs.

RESOLVED

That the government of Mexico, its neighbors to the south, and the United States move in a timely bur urgent manner to create TFCAs including but not limited to the Texas/Big Bend-El Carmen, and Kalakmul/El Mirador areas, with significant portions designated as wilderness, and allocate the resources necessary to manage these areas for the good of nature, and for local and global human communities.
