BiologicalCustom Villages sites: 4. Megalithic Sites few years, Sukabumi possesses unique 2. 1.HistoricalWildlife MonumenGeologicalts 5 sites. Batik Villages and rare geological formations that are 3. 2.TempleNaturedan ReserveVihara 6. Cultural art known as the oldest rock formations on 3.National Park 4.Conservation Forest the surface of West Java (65 - >100 5.Green Turtle Conservation million years), classified into 3 geoareas 6.Plants (Ciletuh, Simpenan, Cisolok). 7.Plantation (Cultivation) • The area of the geopark also has several nature reserves and conservation sites and rich coastal resources. • Several customary villages and sites provide cultural perspectives • An area of geodiversity, biodiversity, and cultural diversity, it has the potential to be protected and to generate income through ecotourism. www.pemsea.org 14 Approach 1. The concept for integrated management of the area • With its unique and rare geodiversity, development of the area as a GEOPARK was proposed • A GEOPARK is a unified area that advances the protection and use of geological heritage in a sustainable way, and promotes the economic well-being of people who live there. • The Global Geoparks Network (GGN) is an initiative of UNESCO that recognizes geological sites representing an earth science interest or with international significance. GGN aims at enhancing the value of such sites while at the same time creating employment and promoting regional economic development. • For a geopark to apply to be included in the GGN, it needs to: • Have a management plan designed to foster socioeconomic development that is sustainable • Demonstrate methods for conserving and enhancing geological heritage and addressing broader environmental issues • Demonstrate collaborations among public authorities, local communities and private sector www.pemsea.org 15 Approach 2. Legal basis for the development of the geopark was established • In 2015, the local government of Sukabumi Regency initiated the development of the geopark through the Decree of Sukabumi Regent No. 555/ 2015, supported by the Regulation of West Java Governor No. 20 of 2016 and the Decree of West Java Governor No. 556 / Kep.456Rek / 2016. 3. An inter-agency and multi-sectoral working group was set up • Operational Team and Management Board for the Geopark was established in 2016 • The Geopark Management Board is chaired by the Governor of West Java while the Operational Team is led by the Regent of Sukabumi • Many of the members of the operational team and management board are also members of the ICM PCC, PMO and TP3TP, including those who initiated the ICM program in 2003. www.pemsea.org 16 Approach 4. Strategic plans were developed in collaboration with stakeholders • Geopark Development Roadmap specified objectives, indicators, priority programs and responsible institutions • Masterplan, with detailed engineering design and artist’s impressions, serve as blueprint for the implementation of various infrastructure including road access, tourism centers and amenities, and other facilities. 5. Harness the capacity of the communities as stewards • Theme of Geopark: “Celebrating Earth Heritage, Sustaining Local Communities” • Geopark developed with strong community support/involvement (bottom-up process) • Community groups have specific roles ,e.g., environmental conservation, tourism, cultural preservation, etc.). • Various skills training and capacity building activities - focusing on conservation, development of local products, agriculture, aquaculture, animal husbandry, management of lodging facilities, handicrafts, tourist guidance, geotrail management, geopark education, and promotion. www.pemsea.org 17 Approach 6. The targets were clear from the onset: Become a leading tourism destination in West Java, in the country and globally, and be recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark • The
