World BRGM Geoparks

The Global Geopark Network (GGN) supported by UNESCO was established in 2004 to conserve Earth's geological heritage, as well as to promote the sustainable research and development by the concerned communities. The GGN membership is formed by national geological parks, or geoparks - local areas focused on the protection of geological features and heritage.

The first members to the GGN were announced during the first International Conference on Geoparks in 2004. To date 87 geoparks from 27 countries are officially part of the GGN family.
