A strong new dimension for the Gaeltacht and the Irish language through the global UNESCO designation, with a geo-based offering appealing to learners and tourists that can be experienced in Irish as well as English. A community-led, community-focused approach to tourism development that can act as a flagship sustainable and regenerative project for the region. A beacon of thought and action leadership in the area of climate change education and adaptation. The border indicated on this map serves to illustrate the general geography of the aspirant Geopark, and will be subject to discussion and consultation over the coming years as part of the Geopark Status Application Process. 2 www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie 3 SECTION 2 VISION 2020 - 2025 Achieving UNESCO Global Geopark designation for the Joyce Country & Western Lakes region is the foundation stone of our vision to 2025. The process of achieving and maintaining the Geopark designation is a connector and motivator for all stakeholders. Once achieved, it stimulates and leverages further sustainable development. This page shares what success looks like for The Geopark Project in 2025. This vision is built on commitment to community, education, conservation and sustainable tourism.

LANGUAGE & CULTURE The Irish language and Gaeltacht culture is celebrated, and is a defining and differentiating characteristic of our Geopark. They are a living and natural part of our day-to-day lives, are integrated into our visitor experiences and are reflected daily in our engagement with locals and other stakeholders. GEOPARK EXPERIENCE We have excelled at creating visitor experiences that truly reflect our place and culture and the values of the Geopark. A range of flagship experiences are built on our key differentiators of language, culture, ethos, community and ecology. Our experiences are designed to connect visitors and locals alike, and to give our visitors a deeper understanding of local geology, the environment and their influence on the people living here. www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie 5 SECTION 3 OPPORTUNITIES is uniquely positioned to avail of.

    Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; Resources, Borders and Passageways

    Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib; resources, borders and passageways A National Heritage Week 2020 Project by the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network Introduction: Loughs Carra, Mask and Corrib are all connected with all their waters draining into the Atlantic Ocean. Their origins lie in the surrounding bedrock and the moving ice that dominated the Irish landscape. Today they are landscape icons, angling paradise and drinking water reservoirs but they have also shaped the communities on their shores. This project, the first of the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Heritage Network, explores the relationships that the people from the local towns and villages have had with these lakes, how they were perceived, how they were used and how they have been embedded in their history. The project consists of a series of short articles on various subjects that were composed by heritage officers of the local community councils and members of the local historical societies. They will dwell on the geological origin of the lakes, evidence of the first people living on their shores, local traditions and historical events and the inspiration that they offered to artists over the years. These articles are collated in this document for online publication on the Joyce Country and Western Lakes Geopark Project website (www.joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie) as well as on the website of the various heritage societies and initiatives of the local communities. Individual articles – some bilingual as a large part of the area is in the Gaeltacht – will be shared over social media on a daily basis for the duration of National Heritage Week.

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.

    Field Day Review 62 The Journey West The Journey West Patrick Joyce1 At the edge Josef Koudelka called this photograph (Fig. 1), Irlande 1972. It is part of a collection of his work entitled Exiles. The three men kneel at the summit of Croagh Patrick, a site of Christian pilgrimage for over a millennium and a half, and before then, for perhaps twice that time, it has been a sacred place. Below the summit, and in the background, is Clew Bay, the Atlantic Ocean speckled with Clew’s many islands, drowned drumlins marooned by geological time. In the photographs that make up Exiles, Koudelka photographed the margins of Europe, margins which are partly geographical, for Croagh Patrick is at the outermost western limits of Europe, and partly social. He repeatedly returns to images of gypsies, one of Europe’s two great symbols of what it is to be at the margins of an acceptable social life from which they are exiled. Indeed, Koudelka was himself an exile, having fled from Prague after the Russian invasion of 1968, following which he took up a relentlessly peripatetic professional life as a photographer, much of it as a stateless person. To be at a margin, or on a border, is to be both inside and outside, or it is to be neither Fig. 1: Ireland. Croagh Patrick Pilgrimage, 1972.

    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.
