EUROPEAN GEOPARK WEEK

Motion Text

That this House welcomes this summer's European Geopark Week; supports its aim to raise awareness of Europe's common geological history; recognises the fundamental influence of geodiversity upon biodiversity and on natural and cultural heritage and its importance in providing an integrated approach to nature conservation; further recognises the role that the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark, and every other geopark, plays in the promotion, preservation and enhancement of biodiversity for generations to come; and calls upon the Government to join in the celebrations of European Geopark Week across 13 European countries between 28th May and 4th June.
