It is stressed that in the countries, which have adjacent nature protection territories, the level of cooperation increases. As an example of fruitful cooperation of the states given are the activities of the biosphere preserve "Karkonosze" (1993), the National park "Uzhansky" in the Ukrainian Carpathians in the composition of the three-lateral Ukrainian-Polish-Slovak biosphere preserve "Danube Delta", the first in Central Europe.
