A Geopark is an area with geological features where the local community is encouraged to actively participate in the protection and enhancement of its natural heritage, including its archaeological, ecological, and cultural values (UNESCO 2004). A Geopark is a single or combined geographical area that possesses valuable Geological Sites and Landscapes, encompassing aspects of Geological Heritage (Geoheritage), Geological Diversity (Geodiversity), Biodiversity, and Cultural Diversity. It is managed for the purposes of conservation, education, and sustainable community economic development, with active involvement from both the local community and local government. This aims to foster understanding and awareness of the earth and its surrounding environment among the community.
