    This edition of Nature & Faune is devoted to exploring various aspects of Trans-Boundary Conservation. The editorial by Alan Rodgers points to the fact that although planning, implementation and monitoring of natural resource conservation is a national prerogative neighbouring countries need to collaborate in achieving wise development of shared resources. The Special Feature by Craig Beech on Peace Parks Foundation argues that the establishment of transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) is exp ected to enhance job creation, biodiversity conservation, peace and stability in the region. A number of articles on transboundary conservation activities are presented, embracing examples from west, central and southern Africa. Also included in this issue’s menu is a dash of multinational cooperation towards management of marine fish stocks. Séraphin Dedi Nadje and Jessica Hjerpe Olausson reported of the countries in the West Central Gulf of Guinea area are conscious of the need for cooper ation in the management of their fisheries resources. The Fishery Committee for the West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC) was consequently established, to facilitate cooperation in fisheries management in the subregion. The country under focus in this edition is Sudan which is the largest country on the African continent and has the largest freshwater wetland in Africa.
