During the working meeting, key topics regarding geosite management were addressed, along with actions that have contributed to its national and international positioning.
The meeting also highlighted the Geopark’s ongoing support through continuous training and advisory services in areas such as solid waste management and risk prevention, strengthening the capacity of those involved in the geosite’s conservation.
In addition, the Geopark presented the new interpretative panel for the Basaltic Prisms Geosite, an educational tool designed to enhance outreach and public understanding of the territory’s geological and natural heritage.
