This activity will serve multiple purposes: (1) to inform local communities about transboundary conservation happening right &#8220;next door&#8221;, (2) to gather community perspectives on the transboundary collaboration that is occurring and (3) to ask members of communities living on the borders of the parks how they think they can participate directly in transboundary conservation or what their role should\/could be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/idrn-ubc.ning.com\/forum\/topics\/engaging-local-stakeholders-in-transboundary-conservation-in-the#\" data-content-id=\"6463210:Topic:2455\" data-content-type=\"Topic\" data-sign-up-url=\"http:\/\/idrn-ubc.ning.com\/main\/authorization\/signUp?target=http%3A%2F%2Fidrn-ubc.ning.com%2Fforum%2Ftopics%2Fengaging-local-stakeholders-in-transboundary-conservation-in-the\" data-like-url=\"\/main\/like\/like\" data-unlike-url=\"\/main\/like\/unlike\" data-page-type=\"detail\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<dl id=\"cf\"><\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"discussionReplies\">\n<h3 id=\"comments\">Replies to This Discussion<\/h3>\n<dl>\n<dt><a id=\"cid-6463210:Comment:2350\" name=\"6463210:Comment:2350\"><\/a><a title=\"Ruby Stocklin-Weinberg\" href=\"http:\/\/idrn-ubc.ning.com\/profile\/RubyStocklinWeinberg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/api.ning.com\/files\/Q-nLjCYTTKEts7S5NCoHFgfDbp7QkOxHDTZoRSKjjEkTQkB5DXwybpY3EcRSpt6voRado5FhkPmK6HoTReQ0savbUkXHLv0i\/BeanManIdeaLight.gif?width=48&amp;height=48&amp;crop=1%3A1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Permalink to this Reply\" name=\"6463210Comment2350\" href=\"http:\/\/idrn-ubc.ning.com\/xn\/detail\/6463210:Comment:2350\"><\/a>Permalink\u00a0Reply by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/idrn-ubc.ning.com\/forum\/topic\/listForContributor?user=2ww71rkfvvgv4\">Ruby Stocklin-Weinberg<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0March 19, 2012 at 12:20pm<\/dt>\n<dd>\n<div id=\"desc_6463210Comment2350\">\n<div>\n<p>Hi Elaine,<\/p>\n<p>Count me in!
