The degradation of ecosystems on sizable land and water area necessitates the protection and restoration of ecosystems, their efficient use, cessation and prevention of the degradation processes, and biodiversity preservation. Those activities are integral for The Concept of Sustainable Development currently accepted and used by the global community. One of the universally accepted mechanisms of ecological problem solving is the establishment and development of protected area (PA) systems. The complex, multifaceted and transboundary nature of ecological problems necessitates international cooperation. As a result of this cooperation, transboundary protected areas (TPAs) are formed according to international treaties. Research methods: abstract-logical, monographic, statistical, cartographic. The data base for the research consists of statistical and analytical materials of federal and regional executive bodies and the guides and reports written by scientific organizations in the field of environment preservation and land use planning. Results: analytical scrutiny of evidence and legal documents reveals the necessity of improvement of legislative and procedural guidelines for TPA formation.
