The UNESCO Global Geoparks Network

The UNESCO Global Geoparks Network is a collection of designated areas around the world that showcase geological heritage and promote environmental education. Geoparks protect unique geological features, while also fostering sustainable tourism and local economies. They aim to connect people with their natural surroundings and promote conservation efforts. By recognizing the importance of geological diversity, UNESCO Geoparks encourage scientific research, cultural exchange, and community involvement, ensuring that both natural and cultural heritage are preserved for future generations.
