Box 9OO 'Ecological Bricks' as transfrontier parks

Following the political changes that affected Central and Eastern Europe in 1989, the plan Ecological Bricks for Our Common House in Europe (Langer, 1990) identified and documented the state of 24 transboundary areas of major importance for nature conservation. The intention was to improve the information on these areas thus preventing potential damages or threats and helping to preserve identified values.
