The UNESCO Global Geopark missions <\/strong> <\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Chablais Geopark participates in the construction of the identity and image of the Chablais region through five main actions:\u00a0<\/p>\n

1) Identify, protect, and preserve various types of heritage<\/strong> <\/p>\n

It is important to fully understand an area\u2019s geoheritage in order to protect it. Geological formations are the foundation of all ecosystems and human interactions with all landscapes. <\/p>\n

2) Education, information, and awareness-raising<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Geoparks seek to raise awareness of the connections between this geological heritage and all other aspects of natural, cultural, and intangible heritage. <\/p>\n

3) Geotourism<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Geoparks contribute to the local and sustainable economic development of their area by promoting responsible tourism. <\/p>\n

4) Cooperation<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Networking lies at the heart of the Geopark\u2019s mission, and is based on cooperation from the local to the international level. <\/p>\n

5)<\/strong> Sustainable development<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Each UNESCO Global Geopark takes a sustainable development approach that supports local communities. <\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
