C.      COHESION OF THE AREA

UNESCO Global Geoparks are single, unified geographical areas. Describe how your area provides territorial cohesion and how is your boundary defined (municipality, country border, natural border, administrative, etc.). This is of special importance in case of any overlap with other UNESCO site designations (like World Heritage, Biosphere Reserves), and any other kinds of protected areas or national designations (National or Regional Reserve, park, etc.),see also point E. 4.

 

In case of an extension of the area smaller than 10 % you must explain the new area and reasons for the enlargement and provide a map to demonstrate the extension.

 

D.      IMPROVEMENTS MADE ON PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS

Your UNESCO Global Geopark is on a green card / yellow card (please select one).

You must report by listing previous recommendations and which actions were undertaken by you regarding the points mentioned (validation/revalidation). You may illustrate, as appropriate, with examples, photos.

E.2    OTHER HERITAGE

Introduction: The purpose of a UNESCO Global Geopark is to explore, develop and celebrate the links between geological heritage and all other aspects of the area’s natural, cultural and intangible heritages. A UNESCO Global Geopark brings together geological heritage with cultural and local characteristics of the region. This section should contain an account of the state of other natural & cultural tangible/ intangible sites, practices and values and their state of conservation, and present your strategy on how the area interprets geology, in an integrated holistic way with other heritages.

Describe your branding policy for local products, formal partnership agreements, criteria, promotional actions, etc.. How do you  promote these partnerships (festivals, fairs, promotion via website, leaflets, etc.)?

 

E.7.3 FULL AND EFFECTIVE PARTICIPATION OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

Does your UGGp have partnerships with the local communities and indigenous peoples when planning and implementing the management and development of your area?

 

In which ways are local communities and indigenous peoples involved and what actions does your UGGp take:

-  Strengthening their roles in decision-making;

-  Ensuring their continued access to and use of the site and its resources, both tangible (e.g. food, water, fuel, shelter) and intangible (e.g. places of meaning and spirituality);

- Recognizing and sustaining , their distinctive cultures, including their languages, knowledge systems, practices, values and worldviews?

 

E.8    NETWORKING

A UNESCO Global Geopark cooperates with other UGGps through the Global Geoparks Network (GGN), and regional networks of the GGN. Working together with international partners is among the main characteristics and obligations of UNESCO Global Geoparks. Membership of the GGN is obligatory for UNESCO Global Geoparks. By working together across borders, UNESCO Global Geoparks learn from each other, exchange good experience and contribute to increasing understanding among different communities and cultures and as such help to achieve the UNESCO mandate of building peace in the hearts of people.

Describe this international cooperation and the kind of activities with the Global Geoparks Network, partnerships with UNESCO Global Geoparks or other local, regional, international partners.
