Existing Collaboration within the Chihuahuan Desert Transboundary Sample Clauses

Existing Collaboration within the Chihuahuan Desert Transboundary. Corridor Despite the inability to create an “International Park” in the Chihuahuan Desert Transboundary Corridor, Mexican and American histories in this “most singular country” (Xxxxx 1995) have been interconnected not only through conflict but also through cooperation. The historical ranching and mining industries in Big Bend relied heavily on the expertise of Mexican vaqueros and laborers, and likely represented the origins of transboundary collaboration in this region. More recently, cooperative working relationships between the United States and Mexico have been formalized.

As evidenced by these examples, most of the current cooperative programs involve only a few of the protected areas (rather than all fiv...
