Balkans Peace Park Project, UK

"The idea of a 'Peace Park' is not new. The first one was created at Morokulian between Norway and Sweden in 1914, at a time of great tension between those countries. A permanent monument to peace was built and inaugurated in the same year. The Waterton Glacier USA/Canada park is celebrating its 75 anniversary in 2007. The IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature), based in Switzerland, has listed over 600 'transboundary protected areas' which straddle international boundaries. Some of these have a specific dedication to peace and cooperation between nations."
