What is Geopark?
A
Geopark is an area with an expressed geological heritage and a strategy for a
sustainable economical development, and the promotion of that very development
to the benefit of the local community. The Papuk Geopark is a part of the
European and Global UNESCO Geoparks Network, whose main goals are protection,
education and a sustainable development.
Protection
Geoparks
protect different geological specialities by exploring and promoting new ways
and methods of protection. The administrations of Geoparks provide different
measures of protection in cooperation with universities and scientific
institutes, along with various management figures of local communities. The
Geoparks must function in the way of local laws and tradition.
Education
Geoparks
organise different activities and provide logistic support in carrying over
various acknowledgements in the areas of geoscience and the science of
environment towards the public. This is done through protection and the
promotion of geomonuments, founding and creating of museums, information
centres, roads and trips with expert leadership, publishing of
popular-scientific literature and educational materials, organisation of
seminars, etc. Geoparks encourage scientific research, establish connections
with colleges and ot
Sustainable development
The
main way of encouraging economy and a sustainable development of parks is
through geotourism. Geoparks use their activities to attract a large number of
visitors and enable the founding of different manufacturing and utilities which
help improve the social-economical development of the community.
What makes an area a Geopark?
A
Geopark must contain a few geologically or geomorphologically important
locations of interest to a wider community. These locations can be important by
their scientific value, rarity, aesthetic or educational importance. Geoparks
do not only benefit from geologically interesting locations, but also from
various ecological, archaeological, historical and cultural notability.
Geoparks are run by local communities which can recognise and wish to confirm
their geological, historical and cultural heritage, mostly through the idea of geotourism. All Geoparks must not only be
active by local means, but also by the means of the Geopark community, and thus
cooperate on mutual projects and exchange of ideas for the improvement of
promoting their activities.
