A geopark is a designated area that highlights geological heritage and promotes the conservation of geological sites, while also integrating environmental education and sustainable tourism. Geoparks aim to raise awareness about geological processes and the Earth's history, often featuring unique rock formations, fossils, and landscapes. They often involve collaboration between local communities, scientists, and policymakers to promote sustainable development and cultural heritage. Geoparks are recognized by UNESCO, which supports their efforts to protect and celebrate Earth's geological diversity.
