Foto-REGThe European Geopark Network (European Geopark Network, EGN) is a voluntary association of territories under the auspices and tutelage of the UNESCO and committed towards the same methods of working to promote and care for the natural and cultural values of the heritage, giving special attention to the geological heritage. A short chronology: 2000. On the island of Lesvos (Greece), four territories decided to join forces and create the network of European Geoparks: the Geological Reserve of Haute-Provence (France), the Petrified Forest of Lesvos (Greece), the Geological Park of Gerolstein/Vulkaneifel (Germany) and the Cultural Park of Maestrazgo (Spain). 2001. The European Network of Geoparks and the UNESCO signed an official agreement of collaboration. 2004. The project was extended and the Global Network of Geoparks was set up (GGN, www.globalgeopark.org) with its headquarters in Peking. With the signing of the Declaration of Madonie (Sicily, Italy), UNESCO recognised that each European Geopark formed part of the Global Geopark Network (GGN).
