Abstract

The definition of geoheritage recognizes scientific features that allow us to understand the history of the Earth and the processes forming and changing it. Some definitions also include intrinsic values as well as aesthetic and cultural importance of the geosites. Nevertheless, there is still a crucial aspect of human-geoscience (human-Earth) interrelations not clearly expressed in these definitions, which can justify the promotion of geoheritage and geoconservation, namely, the importance of the Earth, its structures, and processes in the development of human civilization and the importance of geosciences in the interpretation of human history and the present-day situation. In this paper, several examples of such geosites and categories of geosites are given: geological structures that conditioned human history, caves as a birthplace of human culture, springs as symbolic and real sources of water necessary for life and economy, mass movements as both destructive and constructive phenomena, and exploitation of mineral resources as a factor that has boosted the progress of civilization. Consequently, we postulate the inclusion in the meaning (definition) of geoheritage, sites, and categories of sites, that convince public and policy makers, that Earth’s elements and processes are ecosystem services of crucial importance. They are important not only for geoscientists, but in the development of human civilization, history, and the present state of human affairs.

Notes

  1. Such terms as ‘international level’, ‘national level’, and ‘state-wide level’ (e.g. Crofts et al. 2020) seem to be inadequate in geosciences which have nothing to do with political issues and sound amazing when European countries are compared with Asian, North American ones or Australia.
