Geodiversity Assessment Framework

The Geodiversity Assessment Framework is a structured approach used to evaluate the variety of Earth's physical features, including rocks, minerals, landforms, and soils. It helps identify areas with rich or unique natural features, guiding conservation and sustainable management. This framework assesses factors like diversity, rarity, and ecological importance, providing a comprehensive understanding of the Earth's physical diversity. By doing so, it supports informed decision-making to protect geologically significant sites and promotes appreciation of Earth's natural heritage.
