Talk:UNESCO Global Geoparks

Notes

A further 11 members were added to the UNESCO-assisted network in 2010 as listed in the UNESCO press release at http://www.unesco.org/new/en/media-services/single-view/news/eleven_sites_added_to_global_geoparks_network/ (retrieved 21st October 2010) Incidentally, in advice to members of the EGN, UNESCO currently inists that the global network not be labelled as the UNESCO Network etc but as, for example, the UNESCO-assisted Network . .

Is someone able to update the map accordingly? Geopersona (talk) 15:52, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

- from the list of the geoparks at least one, the transborder Novohrad-Nograd is missing. Please insert it with its link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novohrad_-_Nograd_Geopark , Sza im (talk) 11:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC) , my email address is: szaimka@gmail.com;

Some on the list currently are no longer members of the GGN having either pulled our or failed their revalidations eg Mecklenburg and Lochaber - I will have to find documentation to back this up before removing them from the list. Geopersona (talk) 05:41, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

And indeed add Canada, Iceland and Indonesia (amongst others) to the map. Geopersona (talk) 06:19, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Former members

I've moved Lochaber to the list of former members. I can't find anything official from any UNESCO site about it losing Geopark status, but the BBC seems pretty definite about it [1].

I also tried to find something about the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark which according to the Wikipedia page used to be a member up to 2008, but I can't find anything official anywhere about its loss of membership. Pasicles (talk) 01:58, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

There was a news item about the Iranian geopark of Qeshm Island losing its GGN Geopark status at the end of 2012 but I can't relocate it. If someone can, then perhaps the page can be updated. Geopersona (talk) 06:18, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
