More than 3,000 protected areas adjoin international boundaries (PAAIB). PAAIB may be particularly vulnerable to habitat change, invasive species activity, pollution and overharvesting of resources. Because of their geographical position they may have limited means of preventing threats which originate outs ide the PAAIB perimeter in a different country and legal jurisdiction . Remote sensors may provide some monitoring capability to aid threat detection and prevention. However, while such technologies are developing fast, they can be costly and may have technical and methodological constraints
