Geopark
A Geopark is a designated area that showcases geological heritage, promoting the understanding and conservation of geological features. These parks often include unique rock formations, fossils, and landscapes that tell the story of the Earth's history. They aim to educate visitors about the importance of geology and its connection to the environment and culture.
In addition to geological significance, geoparks often support sustainable tourism and local communities. They provide opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and geological tours, while also encouraging the preservation of natural resources. Many geoparks are part of the UNESCO Global Geoparks network, which helps raise awareness and promote best practices in geoconservation.
