[MIS07-01] Conservation state of geosites in Japanese geoparks

*Kuniyasu Mokudai1, Tetsushi Toyota2 (1.Japan Geoservice Incorporated, 2.Bungo Ono City)

Keywords:Japanese Geoparks, management of geosites, geoheritage, geodiversity, conservation earth science

There are 8 UNESCO Global Geoparks and 35 domestic Geoparks in Japan. Each geopark has many geosites. Some geosites have not been thoroughly examined how to manage them. In this presentation, we will define the degradation of geoheritage in the natural environment of Japan, and organize the Geopark's geosites that are weathered and destroyed. In order to properly manage geosite in Japan, it is necessary to understand the natural environment of the place correctly.
