Abstract
⺠Connectedness and connectivity of the protected area network across country borders was studied. ⺠Connectivity was measured by the presence of same species on both sides of the borders. ⺠Connectedness and connectivity varied greatly among borders and were positively correlated. ⺠Very few factors significantly affected variation in connectedness and connectivity. ⺠Each border has its own history and thus factors influencing selection of protected areas.
