Framing the Palaeontological Heritage Within the Geological Heritage: An Integrative Vision
Geoheritage, 2015Fossils represent an important component of the Earth’s diversity and therefore possess heritage value. Like other components of the geodiversity of planet Earth, the palaeontological heritage should require geoconservationist measures under a protective point of view. A qualitative system for evaluating the palaeontological heritage is proposed, based

Paleogeography as geological heritage: Developing geosite classification
Earth-Science Reviews, 2014Geological heritage sites (geosites) are sites that contain information about the state and the dynamics of the Earth. Paleogeographical (paleoenvironmental) geosites preserve paleoenvironments, paleoecosystems, and other relevant phenomena. However, the value of these sites can only be fully understood through professional interpretation of the ...

Through all that time, many ore, fossil and mineral collections were formed. Collecting became very popular during the Enlightenment, when several renowned scientists were working in the territory of Slovenia.

Geowatching, a Term for the Popularisation of Geological Heritage
Geoheritage, 2014Some fields of environmental protection have developed terms and communication tools to be effective and have a direct influence on non-specialists. Two outstanding examples of such terms are ‘whalewatching’ and ‘birdwatching’, which condense the concept of conservation, protection and the use of natural and fragile resources for scientific and ...
