Consider the following statements.
India is a signatory to the establishment of UNESCO Global Geoparks.
India has more than 30 Geo-parks that are recognized by UNESCO.
India was the first country to formulate laws to conserve its geological and natural heritage.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Correct
Solution: b)
Countries like Vietnam and Thailand have also implemented laws to conserve their geological and natural heritage. Unfortunately, India does not have any such legislation and policy for conservation. Though the Geological Survey of India (GSI) has identified 32 sites as National Geological Monuments, there is not a single geo-park in India which is recognised by the UNESCO. This is despite the fact that India is a signatory to the establishment of UNESCO Global Geoparks. The GSI had submitted a draft legislation for geo-heritage conservation to the Ministry of Mines in 2014, but it did not make any impact.
