International Cooperation

Saving nature knows no borders — rare species migrate, and poachers operate globally. Here we talk about conventions, cross-border projects, and joint efforts of different countries in animal protection. What really works?

CITES: Does the Convention Work?

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species has existed for decades, but illegal animal trafficking continues. How effective is this agreement really? Have you encountered examples where CITES helped protect specific species, or is it just a bureaucratic tool that doesn't solve the problem on the ground?

International Conservation Projects: Is There a Result?

Many global initiatives for animal protection receive funding, but their real impact often remains in question. Do you know examples of successful international projects that actually helped restore populations of rare species? What is more important for their success — money, a scientific approach, or the cooperation of local communities?

Transboundary Reserves: Prospects and Problems.

The creation of protected natural areas located on the territory of several countries is a promising but complex idea. What political, economic, and organizational challenges do such projects face? Can you give successful examples of transboundary reserves where animals really got a better chance of survival?

How Can Countries Cooperate in Protecting Migratory Species?

Migratory birds, sea turtles, whales — their routes cross the borders of many states. How to achieve coordinated actions by different countries to protect these animals? Which international mechanisms work effectively, and which only create the appearance of activity?

Economic Sanctions and Animal Protection.

Restrictions and embargoes imposed against individual countries often have unforeseen consequences for conservation programs. How do sanctions affect the work of reserves, scientific research, and the fight against poaching? Can politics even be separated from ecology in the modern world?
