  We have finally accepted the idea that by working in close cooperation with our neighbours we can go further and faster in preserving our environment. Our borders are man-made inventions unknown to Nature. It is thus essential to surpass these historic boundaries that often inhibit effective action. Promoting sustainable development that fully respects our joint historic and natural heritage, shared by the people on both sides of the border, will open up new and boundless possibilities.

The Transfrontier Biosphere Reserve was established to take advantage of this dynamic. Opening our borders means exchanging ideas to take full advantage of all that each of us can contribute, finding concrete solutions to deal with real-life situations as they really are, while taking the environment fully into account.
