The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has recognized Bohol as the Philippines’ first Global Geopark, the agency said on Wednesday.
According to UNESCO, Global Geoparks are “single, unified geographical areas where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education, and sustainable development.”This photo posted by the Provincial Government of Bohol on its Facebook page shows the island province’s unique attractions after it was named as the country’s first UNESCO Global Geopark.
The Bohol Island Geopark will soon join 17 other new geoparks in the Global Geoparks Network, the cultural agency said in a Facebook post. In Bohol’s nomination, UNESCO described the Philippine area as having “scenic and varied landforms and structural features.”
