“…The paper "Geologic Highway Map of Rio de Janeiro State: a product to stimulate geotourism and broadcast Rio de Janeiro's geodiversity" by Raphael e Silva Girão, Thaís Lima Verde Monteiro, Natália Cota de Freitas, Roney Almeida dos Santos Chagas, Marcus Felipe Emerick Soares Cambra, Miguel Tupinambá, Rodrigo Costa Santos, Henrique Bruno, and Julio Cesar Horta de Almeida (Girão et al 2021) brings a tool that has been commonly used abroad to promote geosciences to drivers along main highways. The authors use the rich and complex geodiversity of the state of Rio de Janeiro state to explore the potential of the several geotouristic resources that may be found along the highways.…”

Geodiversity first emerged nearly 30 years ago in the wake of the Convention on Biological Diversity when geoscientists realised that they too study diverse natural phenomena that are also often threatened with loss or degradation resulting from human activities. Since then, geodiversity has emerged as an important geoscientific paradigm with a central position in the relationships between the geoscientific ‘Gs'. It has spawned much discussion on how geodiversity can be classified and measured, it is often used as the basis for selecting geoheritage sites for geoconservation, including the development of the World Heritage List, it is often used by geoparks to publicise their range of geofeatures, and it is the basis for many ‘geosystem services’ essential to our modern societies. But despite this importance, it is a poorly understood and poorly integrated into nature conservation policy and practice. The result is that the value of the whole of nature is underestimated and the policy and practice for the management of nature lacks integration.
