Keywords:Geoparks

We applied for Japan Geopark Network certification in 2017, but the judgment was "deferred."
We created a project team to analyze the problems resulting in our deferment, and to rethink our Geopark Plan. To that end, we will report on the events and Project Team activities that we have been engaged in since May.
The project team is organized of individuals from the Ministry of the Environment, Kochi Prefectural Office, Tosashimizu City Hall, and everyday citizens that talk about the foundational design of the Geopark Plan.
