A Methodology for the identification of significant landforms and geological sites for geoconservation purposes
TLDR
In this paper, the identification of significant landforms and geological sites (earth features) within the State Forests of Tasmania with a view to facilitating the conservation of geodiversity (Geoconservation) through appropriate management prescriptions is discussed.Abstract:

Geoheritage and geoconservation - History, definition, scope and scale
M. Brocx,Vic Semeniuk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, five levels of geo-heritage significance are defined: international, national, state-wide, regional, and local, and the importance of each of them is discussed.

Geodiversity: An integrative review as a contribution to the sustainable management of the whole of nature
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the geodiversity concept and make the links with well-established concepts and strategies, namely the ones related with natural capital and ecosystem services, to demonstrate that the UN SDG can only be achieved if the elements and processes of geod diversity are definitely considered in the global agenda.

Geodiversity: developing the paradigm
TL;DR: The concept of geodiversity has been used as the basis for selecting geoconservation sites in many countries and is being used increasingly to guide the nomination and assessment process for geological World Heritage Sites as mentioned in this paper.

Geomorphosite assessment for geotourism purposes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between geodiversity, geoheritage (represented by geosites and geomorphosites) and geotourism, and presented several assessment methods that represent a significant tool for geoconservation and geotechnical purposes.

Other nature: geodiversity and geosystem services
TL;DR: The concept of biodiversity and ecosystem services have become widely established and adopted within and beyond nature conservation circles as discussed by the authors. But biotic nature is only part of nature, and the existence and importance of nature often goes unrecognized and is certainly undervalued.
