摘要
Through the creation of a world network of natural parks with significant geological features, labelled UNESCO Geopark, UNESCO promotes the twin goals of conserving a healthy environment and enhancing sustainable economic development, Geoparks are designed to become a tool for a better understanding of the geological heritage and wise use of the Earth's crust, by increasing public awareness for a balanced relationship between humankind and the earth. Geoparks are territories where the geological heritage of the Earth is safeguarded and sustainably managed.
