"We should strive to preserve this geological heritages because it is of aesthetic, cultural and scientific significance and because we recognize that it has nature conservation values."

"However, the record of the Earth's history is fragile, it must be safeguarded and protected. Therefore, the creation of a UNESCO Network of national Geoparks should be considered," he added.

On the opening ceremony, Professor Ed de Mulder, president of the UNESCO's Geological Sciences Union, announced the 25 UNESCO-identified world geoparks, including eight Chinese ones, namely Huangshan Mountains in Anhui Province, Lushan Mountains in Jiangxi Province, Yuntaishan Mountains in Henan Province, Stone Forest in Yunnan Province, Danxiashan Mountain in Guangdong Province, Zhangjiajie Nature Reserve in Hunan Province, Wudalianchi in Heilongjiang Province and Songshan Mountains in Henan Province.
