"The UNESCO Global Geopark designation was created in 2015, and recognizes
“geological heritage of international significance”. Geoparks serve local
communities by combining the conservation with public outreach and a
sustainable approach to development.

The 18 new designations brings the total up to 195 Geoparks, covering a total
surface area of 486,709 km2, equivalent to twice the size of the United
Kingdom. Two UNESCO Member States are joining the network for the first time:
New Zealand and the Philippines."
