Week of Planet Earth. Geological-environmental itineraries
This volume contains a collection of "Geological Excursion Guides" realized during several editions of the Planet Earth Week, in different areas of Italian territory, a cultural heritage that is often known only to those who take part in the itinerary. The purpose of publishing such Guides, therefore, is to spread and make access to a wider public the different routes in areas of great geological interest that took place during the event.
Starting from the concept of geodiversity, that is, of the geological landscape variety and forms, this is a new interpretation which can pave the way for new stimuli, both in the scientific and social fields, towards a goal that has shared all the authors that is to make known, valorise, preserve and protect our geo-historical identity.
Promoting a greater awareness in the strategic role of Earth Sciences is therefore the primary goal for the future of society. This goal can only be achieved through a dialogue and a shared commitment among scientists, policy makers and decision-makers to implement measures related to the use of natural and environmental resources by promoting recognition, enhancement and safeguarding.
