“…In this research, some of best-known transboundary conserved areas have been selected and explained in order to determine their roles in protecting ecologically important border-lands all around the world. Although peace parks can be found in various ecoregions of the world, in this research they are categorized in two groups based on their location; terrestrial and marine conserved areas [1]. In this essay, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park, "W" Transborder Parks, Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area have been chosen as the terrestrial cases; Binational Red Sea Marine Peace Park, Mnazi Bay-Ruvuma Estuary Marine Park, and Iona-Skeleton Coast Transfrontier Conservation Area have been studied as the Marine cases.…”

The idea of conserving borderlands has been founded to mitigate the issues around the political borders. Similarly, "Transboundary Conserved Area" or "Peace Park" has been created to protect the environmental resources and precious biodiversity over the political borders as well as enhancing international cooperation through harmonizing resource management approaches. There are various forms of the peace parks created all around the world especially in Africa. Even though various kinds of these parks are created, the subject seems interesting and new in Asian and Middle East countries. Thus, this research aims to provide a comprehensive view of the subject that can be practical for the urban and environmental planners. Trying to determine their functions; this research explains seven operated projects as examples of Transboundary Conserved Area. To gain information, desk research is used, which collects secondary data from the available sources. Regarding data analysis, it shows how these parks contribute to the ecological improvement and other political, economic, and cultural benefits. The results of the cases' surveys demonstrate a tangible consideration on ecosystem conservation, while other functions defined to the peace parks and peacemaking have been underestimated and partially ignored.

“…The transboundary peace park is a category that integrates cooperative management of the resources including ecosystems and cultural resources over jurisdictional boundaries (Ali, 2007;Pouya and Özkul, 2017). They improve ecosystem integration and biological processes by harmonizing natural resources management ways and other cooperation among their governments and stakeholders (Pouya et al, 2018).…”

Objective: The issue of human boundaries (political borders) vs. the natural boundaries (ecotones) has been controversial in recent studies. The political borders have negatively impacted the ecology and resulted in ecological and spatial fragmentation and biodiversity reduction in a country like Iran. The work aims to find a practical way to mitigate the environmental problems in the borderlands of Iran. This article evaluates the effect of creating a "Transboundary Conserved Area" or "Peace Park" in Iran with the purpose of ecological conservation. Material and Methods:This article attempts to explain the structures and functions of ecotones and natural boundaries. To search for a feasible solution to protect the ecologically unique zones over the political borders of Iran, this article discusses whether human boundaries can act as a natural boundary and reduce its ecological effects. Therefore, five common characteristics of natural and human borders, including location and size, origination, form, function, and stability over time, are explained and compared.Results: By analyzing the political borders of Iran, it shows that Iran needs different protected zones in most of its borderlands, and the idea of the "Transboundary Conserved Area" may not be possible due to the current complicated political matters over the borderlands. Conclusion:The human boundaries should be flexible with the changes in their surrounding nature; they should be in tune with the current geographical structures and maintain ecological connectively and seasonal animal migrations. ÖZAmaç: İnsani sınırlarını (Siyasi sınırlar) doğal sınırlarla karşılaştırılması son yıllardaki yapılan çalışmalarda tartışılan konulardan birisi olmuştur. Siyasi sınırlar ekolojiyi olumsuz yönde stkilemiştir ve İran gibi bir ülkede ekolojik ve mekansal parçalanmaya ve biyolojik çeşitliliğin azalmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada İran sınlaırında çevre sorunlarının azalmasına yönelik pratik bir çözüm bulamyı hedeflenmiştir. Bu makale ekolojik koruma amacıyla İran›da "Sınır Ötesi Korunan Alanın" veya "Barış Parkın" oluşturulmasının etkisini değerlendirmiştir. Gerekçe ve Yöntemler:Bu makale ekotonların ve doğal sınırların yapı ve işlevlerini açıklamaya çalışmıştır. İran'ın siyası bölgelerindeki eşsiz ekolojik bölgereli korumak amacıyla uygun bir çözüm bulmak için bu makalede insani sınırlarının doğal sınırlar gibi davranıp davranmadığını ve ekolojik etkilerini azaltıp azaltmayacağı tartışılmıştır. Bu nedenle, doğal ve insan sınırının ortak beş özellikleri olan yer ve boyut, köken, biçim, işlev ve zaman içindeki istikrar dahil olmak üzere açıklanmış ve karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar: İran›ın siyasi sınırlarını analiz ederek, İran›ın sınır bölgelerinin çoğunda farklı koruma bölgelerine ihtiyaç duyduğunu ve sınır ötesi alanlardaki mevcut karmaşık siyasi meseleler nedeniyle "Sınır Ötesi Korunan Alan" fikrinin mümkün olamayabileceğini göstermektedir.Sonuç: İnsan sınırları, çevrelerindeki değişikliklere esnek olmalıdır; mevcut coğrafi yapılara uymalı ve ekolojik olarak ...

As a result of extensive bryophyte surveys across the different parts of the Karçal Mountain, Türkiye's first biosphere reserve area, Artvin region (Caucasus) in the East Black Sea region of Türkiye, Jungermannia pumila, Scapania uliginosa and Heterocladium flaccidum found as new to Türkiye. Moreover, these taxa are the first time reported for bryophyte flora of South-West Asia in this paper. Descriptions, illustrations, distributions, ecological characteristics, and comparisons with morphologically similar taxa were also provided. Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 31(1): 25-32, 2024 (June)
