Geopark

A management plan designed to foster socio-economic development that is sustainable (most likely to be based on geotourism).

Demonstrate methods for conserving and enhancing geological heritage and provide means for teaching geoscientific disciplines and broader environmental issues.

Joint-porposals submitted by public authorities, local communities and private interests acting together, which demonstrate the best practices with respect to Earth heritage conservation and its integration into sustainable development strategies.

UNESCO currently lists 28 Geoparks in the INoG, and it is hoped that over 500 Geoparks will eventually attain INoG status.
