Geoparks: Conserving Geodiversity and Biodiversity
The Earth history with all the variability and richness of different abiotic and biotic processes is recorded in geological formations. By studying these processes we are able not only to understand them, but also predict the future environmental changes according to the phrase: “the past is the key to the future”. The evidence for the history of the Earth is one of the most important features of geodiversity (Eberhard, 1997).
