The Ghosts of Old Volcanoes, a Geoheritage Trail Concept for Eastern Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand [PDF]

Geoconservation Research, 2020
Re-imagining the geotourism experience through the lens of slow tourism, in this paper we lay out a pathway towards a more nourishing, engaging, and educational experience that contributes to both geoconservation and a reshaping of the tourism economy in

Geoconservation of Springs in Poland

Episodes, 2009
Springs are unique phenomena that document water circulation conditions. Their economic importance and use often gives rise to the degradation of their natural features. But they should be understood as a form of natural heritage and protected like other abiotic elements of nature.

Valorizar a geodiversidade e proteger os serviços geossistêmicos na Região de Carajás

Confins, 2023
The difficulty of a systemic look at nature has historically favored biotic aspects to the detriment of abiotic ones. Geodiversity is an almost absent topic in discussions involving the Amazon, supporting the false idea that landforms and rocks are ...

Diverse approaches to protecting biodiversity: The different conservation measures discussed as possible other effective area‐based conservation measures

Conservation Letters, Volume 17, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) create opportunities for a wide range of area‐based conservation strategies. As countries seek to integrate OECMs into conservation planning, it is useful to consider the types of areas that might meet the formal criteria.

Geoconservation Subjectivity Evaluation: A Case Study of a Management Toolkit

Geoconservation Research
Conservation efforts, such as geoconservation, involve some degree of subjectivity, compromising the objective data and verifiable evidence required for effective decision-making. Geodiversity, which comprises the non-living components that underpin life,

Geoconservation and protected areas [PDF]

Environmental Conservation, 2002
IntroductionIn most countries, protected area managers are primarily interested in biology (McNeely & Miller 1984; Nelson & Serafin 1997). This perspective is not suitable for effective nature conservation because there is no real separation between geological and biological processes.

On the Adhesion of Sediment to Footwear and the Implications for Geoconservation [PDF]

Geoheritage, 2019
The fossils at the Mistaken Point UNESCO World Heritage Site represent evidence of the oldest known, large, architecturally complex, life on Earth and are protected by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador as part of an Ecological Reserve. Following concerns that foot traffic across the fossil surfaces was having a deleterious effect on the ...

Approaching geodiversity and geoconservation in Argentina

International Journal of Geoheritage and Parks, 2022
The geodiversity and geoconservation status in Argentina is herein presented considering the geodidactic potential and tourism activity as geosystem services. The Geological Interest Sites (GIS) identified by the geological and mining national survey, the Natural Protected Areas (NPA) supported by the national park administration and the World Heritage

A case for stronger integration of physical landscape processes in conservation science and practice

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract I argue that the dynamic nature of contemporary, landscape‐shaping (geomorphic) processes deserves more consideration in conservation science and practice. In an analysis of a sample of fundamental terms related to geomorphology and area‐based conservation in the Web of Science, I found that the terms co‐occurred in <2% of the analyzed entries
