The 3rd International UNESCO-Conference on Geoparks
|
 |
|
The Osnabrueck market place
|
|
For the first time, the International Conference on Geoparks will be held in the heart of a Global Geopark in 2008. The venue:
Osnabrueck, capital of the Global Geopark TERRA.vita. The topic:
Communication. |
|
|
|
The TERRA.vita landscape
|
|
The goal:
To create appropriate methods to raise the awareness of the geological heritage of our planet - far beyond the Geopark‘s borders. The Earth is a huge, dynamic system. We are part of this system and while admittedly we are a small part, we have the potential to destabilize it. The history of the Earth shows, that our planet is in a state of continuous change, it´s rocks tell us about post environments, fossils tell us about the changes of ecosystems. |
