The UNESCO Global Geoparks were created in the 1990s as a European regional initiative to respond to the increasing need for enhancing and preserving the geological heritage of our planet1. These geographic sites highlight and celebrate the 4600 Ma of Earth’s geological evolution. The Geoparks initiative is based on three essential pillars2: preservation, education and geotourism. All of them designed to reach sustainable economic development of these areas based on harnessing geological heritage. These are the main guidelines to manage Geoparks, and give the communities a possibility to develop sustainable economic and touristic activities. As a consequence, income of the communities increases and their life quality is positively affected.
