Geopark is not just about rocks...
it is also about people...
Any area could be designated as geopark if they possess several geoheritage features and outstanding geological landscape within which they form the nucleus for the development of local communities through conservation and ecotourism.
Essentially, a geopark should have components of conservation, local community and ecotourism. In the geopark concept, local community is regarded as a central component of interaction between various elements within the environment and thus, the geopark management authority should get them actively involved in managing geoheritage conservation and promoting sustainable geotourism.
