UNESCO Global Geopark

It is a single, unified geographical area that manages heritage and landscapes of international geological significance in accordance with complete protection, education, and sustainable development concepts. The UNESCO World Geopark utilizes the geological heritage of the region, as well as all relevant natural and cultural heritage, to improve understanding of the major issues facing human society on the ever-changing planet we inhabit, such as the sustainable development and utilization of the Earth's natural resources and the mitigation of the adverse effects of climate change and natural disasters. By continuously raising public awareness of the importance of geological heritage in historical times and today's society, UNESCO World Geoparks enhance local residents' sense of regional identity by giving them a strong sense of pride in their territory. While geological resources are being protected, the development of geoscience and tourism can increase financial revenue sources, stimulate the generation of innovative enterprises, job opportunities, and high-quality training courses.
