Transboundary Ramsar sites
Collaborative international management of adjacent Ramsar sites
Pursuant to Article 5 of the Convention and Resolution VII.19 (1999) on international cooperation:
Increasingly, Ramsar Contracting Parties are designating their new and existing Ramsar sites as Transboundary Ramsar Sites, meaning that an ecologically coherent wetland extends across national borders and the Ramsar site authorities on both or all sides of the border have formally agreed to collaborate in its management, and have notified the Secretariat of this intent. (Ramsar Manual) This is a cooperative management arrangement and not a distinct legal status for the Ramsar sites involved.
De plus en plus, les Parties contractantes font de leurs nouveaux sites et de leurs sites existants des sites Ramsar transfrontières : ainsi, des zones humides écologiquement cohérentes s'étendent de part et d'autre de frontières et les autorités responsables de ces sites, des deux côtés de la frontière, décident, dans le cadre d'accords officiels, de collaborer à la gestion et notifient le Secrétariat de leur intention. (Manual de Ramsar)
Cada vez más, las Partes Contratantes de Ramsar designan sus sitios Ramsar nuevos y existentes como sitios Ramsar transfronterizos, lo que implica que un humedal ecológicamente cohesivo se extiende a través de fronteras nacionales y las autoridades del sitio Ramsar de ambos o todos los lados de la frontera han acordado oficialmente colaborar en su manejo, y han notificado a la Secretaría tal decisión.
