Berg straße- Alongside the World Heritage Sites and the Biosphere Reserves, Geoparks are now the third category of sites to be recognized by UNESCO. Odenwald UNESCO Global Geoparks are areas with geological sites and landscapes of international geoscientific sig ni ficance. The UNESCO Global Geoparks make this signi ficance tangible for the population UNESCO Global as well as for visitors through a holistic concept of education, con servation and sustainable development. UNESCO Global Geoparks promote Geopark identifica tion with the region, tourism and regional value creation. They address the challenges of UNESCO Global Geopark Bergstraße-Odenwald global change in the region – always with reference to the special geological heritage in connection with the respective cultural and natural heritage.

The Geopark regions take up these issues and translate them, for example, into their educational work, which imparts knowledge and skills. They shed light on the heritage of the region for residents and visitors and create awareness of the broader UNESCO Global Geopark Bergstraße-Odenwald contexts and processes. They support problem- oriented research and to that end, work with uni ver sities, non-university research institutes, muse ums and UNESCO associated schools. At the same time UNESCO Global Geoparks not only address regional issues, but also global societal International challenges, such as the finiteness of natural (above all geologi cal) resources and climate change. In model regions this regard, the UNESCO Global Geoparks are well- positioned to tackle urgent sustainability issues.

The 17 goals constitute an all-encompassing aspiration to eradicate poverty and hunger world- wide, make high-quality education accessible UNESCO Global Geopark Bergstraße-Odenwald to all, promote climate protection and peace, and reduce global inequality. The 2030 Agenda is his tori­­cally unique; its ambitious goals apply to all coun tries and are intended to harmonise the eco nomic, ecological and social interests of present and future generations in the long term through specific mea sures, the success of which will be continuously monitored. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is the guiding principle for policies in Germany. The new German sustainability strategy adopted in January 2017 is just one example. The federal, state and local go v­­ernments are developing policies at all levels for the 2030 Agenda. The political parties have also embedded key elements of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in their basic programmes.

This led to the development of Malaysia’s own National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Shark or NPOA-Shark (Plan 1) in 2006. The successful development of Malaysia’s second National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Shark (Plan 2) is a manifestation of her renewed commitment to the continuous improvement of shark conservation and management measures in Malaysia.

Late Cretaceous to Paleogene exhumation in Central Europe – localized inversion vs. large-scale domal uplift Hilmar von Eynatten1, Jonas Kley2, István Dunkl1, Veit-Enno Hoffmann1, Annemarie Simon1 1University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Sedimentology and Environmental Geology, 5 Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany 2University of Göttingen, Geoscience Center, Department of Structural Geology and Geodynamics, Goldschmidtstrasse 3, 37077 Göttingen, Germany Correspondence to: Hilmar von Eynatten ([email protected]) Abstract. Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.

  • Informed Geoheritage Conservation: Determinant Analysis Based on Bibliometric and Sustainability Indicators Using Ordination Techniques
    land Article Informed Geoheritage Conservation: Determinant Analysis Based on Bibliometric and Sustainability Indicators Using Ordination Techniques Boglárka Németh, Károly Németh * and Jon N. Procter School of Agriculture and Environment, Volcanic Risk Solutions, Turitea Campus, Massey University, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand; [email protected] (B.N.); [email protected] (J.N.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +64-27-479-1484 Abstract: Ordination methods are used in ecological multivariate statistics in order to reduce the number of dimensions and arrange individual variables along environmental variables. Geoheritage designation is a new challenge for conservation planning. Quantification of geoheritage to date is used explicitly for site selection, however, it also carries significant potential to be one of the indicators of sustainable development that is delivered through geosystem services. In order to achieve such a dominant position, geoheritage needs to be included in the business as usual model of conservation planning. Questions about the quantification process that have typically been addressed in geoheritage studies can be answered more directly by their relationships to world development indicators. We aim to relate the major informative geoheritage practices to underlying trends of successful geoheritage implementation through statistical analysis of countries with the highest trackable geoheritage interest. Correspondence analysis (CA) was used to obtain information on how certain indicators bundle together. Multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was used Citation: Németh, B.; Németh, K.; to detect sets of factors to determine positive geoheritage conservation outcomes. The analysis Procter, J.N.
