Geopark Features and Characteristics in Libya

Fello, Nuri Mohamed (Nafusah Oil Operations B.V., Tripoli, Libya)

We aim through this work to present the scientific summary to introduce Geoparks and ways to preserve and manage the geological heritage in the State of Libya according to accurate scientific standards. Meanwhile, regard to the Arab countries, there is only one geological park, which is in the State of Morocco.

Through the scientific and practical discussion, we had a proposal to clarify the areas of geological importance in Libya, and the most important of these areas (Akakus Mountains, Al-Akhdar Mountain, Jabal Waw Al-Namous, Jabal Al-Dalam, and Wadi Tanezzuft). During the field studies, these sites were of great importance to the participating brothers in the symposium, and the coordinating team of the Geoparks project, mandated by UNESCO, explained the basic conditions that are supposed to be met for obtaining global approval for geoparks. During current time, it will be agreed to prepare a brief booklet containing information for a single geological heritage and a summary of all the geological features in the State of Libya, and it will be under the supervision of the UNESCO Regional Office in Cairo and the International Office in Paris.
