Some animal species move from one country to another (or others) during their lives. Habitats of some organisms occupy several countries. In such cases, conservation in only one country is not enough for preventing extinction. First, point number 1: Many animals migrate beyond international borders. Some animal species \u2013 like migratory birds \u2013 move across borders from one country to another (or others). The black-faced spoonbill (Platalea minor), a rare migratory bird species, with only a small number existing across the globe, breeds on the Korean Peninsula and winters in Taiwan or Indochina. Therefore, to conserve the black-faced spoonbill, conservation action needs to be taken in both the breeding place and wintering places. Yet again, there are some animals distributed across a number of countries. For example, tigers can be found across a wide range of land from Russia and China through to India. And, to prevent the extinction of a species like the tiger, it is not enough to protect the habitat in just 1 country. The idea of national borders has to be put aside, and, instead, measures - such as determining the entire habitat of a species and establishing an appropriate protected area or areas \u2013 must be implemented.
