DEFINITION OF GEODIVERSITY (Kozłowski et al., 2004) Geodiversity is “a natural diversification of Earth's surface including geologic, geomorphologic, soil, and surface water features and systems formed by natural (endogenic and/or exogenic) processes, in places with a different anthropogenic imprint”

ABIOTIC NATURE CONSERVATION

 Abiotic nature conservation in the Holy Cross Mountains:

  • The first geologic reserve in Poland – “Ślichowice” (1952)
  • The first geologic landscape park in Poland “Chęciny-Kielce

Landscape Park” (1996)

  • 25 geologic reserves
  • 120 inanimate nature landmarks
  • 12 documentary sites

CONCLUSIONS

 The most important for geoconservation in the

Holy Cross Mountains region are the following values: cultural, aesthetic (especially in relation to geotourism) and scientific

 Geodiversity conservation in the Holy Cross

Mountains should be focused on three aspects: (i) geologic heritage conservation, (ii) popularization of geologic knowledge and (iii) promotion of geotourism
