🌍 From mountains and rivers to oceans and deserts, geodiversity is all around us. It encompasses the Earth’s rocks, minerals, soils, fossils and landforms, as well as the dynamic processes that shape them.
Today, on International #GeodiversityDay, we highlight this often-overlooked part of our natural heritage and the role of geoscience in helping us understand our planet and respond to environmental change.
Across 241 UNESCO Global Geoparks, communities are connecting the conservation of geological heritage with education and sustainable development, turning knowledge of our planet into action at the local level.
