UNESCO Geoparks

UNESCO Geoparks are designated areas where unique geological heritage, landscapes, and natural features are preserved, studied, and shared. They aim to promote sustainable economic development, environmental conservation, and public education by showcasing the Earth's geological history. These parks often include scenic sites, fossils, minerals, or landforms that tell stories about Earth's past. Through local community involvement and responsible tourism, UNESCO Geoparks foster awareness of geological diversity and natural heritage, helping to protect these valuable areas for future generations while supporting local livelihoods.
