Geological heritage refers to the significant geological features and processes that have shaped the Earth’s landscape over time. This includes rock formations, fossils, minerals, and landforms that provide insight into the planet's history and evolution. Preserving these sites is essential for scientific research, education, and understanding Earth's natural processes. Conserving geological heritage also supports biodiversity and cultural heritage. Many geological sites, such as national parks and geological reserves, serve as habitats for unique species and hold cultural significance for local communities. Protecting these areas ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from the Earth's geological history.
