Local Geodiversity Action Plans: setting the context for geological conservation (ENRR560)

Local Geodiversity Action Plans provide a new and effective route to achieving geoconservation. This research report provides the rationale for Local Geodiversity Action Plans (LGAPs). It examines previous work (up to 2002) on local geoconservation and draws comparisons with the work of Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs). The report provides case studies highlighting differing approaches to geoconservation at local levels and suggests models for the production of LGAPs.
