geoconservation

Geoconservation is the practice of protecting and preserving geological features, landscapes, and Earth’s natural heritage for their scientific, educational, cultural, and aesthetic value. It involves safeguarding features like rock formations, fossils, mineral deposits, and landforms from destruction or damage caused by development, erosion, or pollution. By conserving these natural geological assets, we maintain the planet’s geological diversity, support scientific research, and ensure that future generations can learn from and appreciate Earth’s geological history. In essence, geoconservation promotes responsible stewardship of our planet’s geological resources for sustainable heritage and knowledge.
