Abstract
Based on the practical experience in the Rhön biosphere reserve (=biosphere territory), which covers parts of three federal states in Germany, mechanisms and strategies for sustainable development beyond administrative boundaries are demonstrated and examples for trilateral cooperation are given. Based on this, recommendations for the further development of the Altai region as a transboundary biosphere territory are derived. Success or failure of a biosphere territory depends especially on the local people, as they need to decide on and take action for their own sustainable future on the regional level.
