Title<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Protecting and managing geoheritage, a new task for\u00a0geoscientists<\/span><\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0By\u00a0definition, heritage is what is\u00a0inherited\u00a0from past generations, maintained in the present, and bestowed to future\u00a0generations due to its\u00a0values. In this context, geological heritage (or\u00a0geoheritage) is a selection of the most representative natural elements of\u00a0geological\u00a0nature that are worthy of preservation for present and future generations. This includes the set of geological features that best represent\u00a0the history of\u00a0planet Earth and that are the foundation of life-support systems essential to\u00a0humankind and to biodiversity. Geological\u00a0heritage includes all types of\u00a0non-living natural\u00a0elements,\u00a0namely minerals, rocks, soils, fossils, landforms and landscapes, together with\u00a0the diversity of natural processes that produce them. Geoheritage may be affected by several\u00a0types of\u00a0man-made and natural threats that may cause its decay or even total destruction.\u00a0All\u00a0these threats contribute to the loss of geoheritage,\u00a0which is the most obvious justification for the need to implement geoconservation strategies. Therefore, each country should include clear measures to protect\u00a0and manage its geoheritage.<\/span><\/p>\n
