A. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific Cultural Organization)

    *  Establishment: 16 Nov 1945 (London, UK)
      *  Headquarters: Paris, France
     *  India became a member of UNESCO in 1946.

B. Concept of Geopark and Geo-Heritage Site

 * The UNESCO Geopark and Geo Heritage Site concept are as follows:

 UNESCO

• Mentioned Geo-Park Geo-Heritage Site

Page 13

• Rajasthan ka Bhugol(a) Global Geo Park:
• What is Geo Park?
  • The concept of "Geo Park" was given by UNESCO in 2001.
  • It is a single integrated geographic area where sites and landscapes of international geo-scientific importance are managed by UNESCO with the overall concepts of protection, education, and sustainable development.
  • Under the bottom-up approach, local communities (landowners, community groups) and tourism service providers are involved in the "sustainable development and conservation" of these sites.
• Currently in Geo Parks:
  • Till date UNESCO has given the status of "Global Geo Park" to 193 regions of 48 countries. * At present, the first proposed geo park in India, 'Lamheta Ghat', will be established in Madhya Pradesh; this site is famous for dinosaur fossils and geological structures.
• Is the Geo Park Post Permanent? * UNESCO gives the status of 'Global Geo-Park' to a site for 4 years. * The activities and quality of the Geo Park are re-evaluated after 4 years. * A field mission is run by 2 evaluators to assess the quality of the UNESCO Global Geo Park. * After this mission, the evaluators prepare a "Progress Report" on the Global Geo Park, based on which a card is issued. Page 279
• Rajasthan ka Bhugol

Hap Card:

• (After fulfilling the standards) Included in the Geo Park list again for 4 years

Yellow Card

• (If it does not meet the standards) then you will be informed to take appropriate steps.

Red Card

*   If the standards are not met within 2 years after the yellow card, then it will automatically lose the status of 'Geo Park'.

• There are four basic features of a UNESCO Geo Park: (i) Geological heritage site of global level: It is necessary for a site to become a geo-park that the site is a site of geo-scientific importance at the international level.(ii) Management: The management of the Geo Park will be done by a local scientific organization.(iii) Firmness: To promote sustainable local economic development through geo-tourism.(iv) Network: Exchange of natural and cultural sites at local as well as global levels.
