The Convention for the Protection of the Global, Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972, arises from the need to identify some priceless and irreplaceable nation's assets. The first global natural heritage, recognized by UNESCO, was Galapagos Islands in 1978 and the first cultural heritage of humanity was Quito Historic Centre in the same year. Ecuador is the most compact megadiverse country, because it has four climatic regions at the same time: the amazing ocean's Coast, the Andean Highlands, the Eastern jungle and the insular wonder of Galapagos Islands; thus, assures us that we keep many assets, both natural and cultural. The aim of this article is to analyze the world heritages of Ecuador, and the possible candidates presented to UNESCO, with a matrix of SWOT analysis that allows us to set strategies that strengthen the current ones and lead for a greater achievement and awareness of this type of dignities. The methodology is based on the following steps: (i) Analysis and systematization of the existing information of the current world heritages of Ecuador, and the presented candidacies. (ii) Introduction to the new UNESCO designation called 'Geopark' in Ecuador and its impact, (iii) Realization of a SWOT analysis for the current world heritages in Ecuador and (iv) Proposal of strategies, through the SWOT matrix, for the strengthening, awareness and achievement of other assets. There are 1092 officially declared world heritages by UNESCO, Ecuador has eight. At the moment, Ecuador presented one Geopark candidacy and another five proposals to UNDP and five places were given candidacy to world heritage. This represents a set of places, values, but above all, humanity linked to this environment that offers a unique singularity and strengthens it due to its small territorial extension.

“…Latin America hosts many geoheritage objects [42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49], and more than ten global geoparks (i.e., the members of UGGp) have been launched in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Uruguay [29]. The contribution of Latin American countries, institutions, and researcher teams to the international geopark movement has become remarkable [19,50,51]. Global geoparks from this region support the growth of geotourism and sustainability [52,53].…”

Global geoparks, i.e., the members of the UNESCO Global Geopark (UGGp) network, possess highly valuable geoheritage resources, which can be used for the purposes of not only education and tourism, but also science. Five examples from four Latin American countries (Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru) were employed to realize the importance of these global geoparks as facilitators of international research. Journal articles devoted to these geoparks were selected with the major bibliographical databases, and the information from them was analyzed quantitatively. Particularly, the numbers of articles published before and after the UGGp membership, paying significant and marginal attention to geoparks, and published by international teams were calculated; the general themes of the articles were outlined. It was established that the total number of publications grew after the UGGp membership of these geoparks, but not steadily. The established dynamics of publishing are unstable and differ between the geoparks. Geoparks of Mexico (Mixteca Alta) and Peru (Colca y Volcanes de Andagua) are notable examples because they started to facilitate international research before the UGGp membership. Many articles consider geoparks only marginally (nonetheless, there are also articles paying significant attention to geoparks, especially in the cases of two Mexican geoparks). The author teams are often not restricted to Latin America. The research themes are rather diverse (geoheritage, geology, ecology, innovations, society, technology), although the majority of the publications are geoheritage-focused. Of special interest is the Colca y Volcanes de Andagua global geopark, which has been considered in the innovation-focused article. Generally, our results indicate a moderate importance of the considered global geoparks to international research activity and the incomplete exploitation of their scientific potential. Two Mexican geoparks (Comarca Minera and Mixteca Alta) seem to be the most successful in the facilitation of international research. Indeed, the scientific utility of global geoparks should be strengthened.

“…En el año 2000 se establece la European Geoparks Network (EGN) que fue la primera red de geoparques y posteriormente, en 2004, con apoyo de la UNESCO, se creó la actual Global Geopaks Network (GGN), que contó con la adhesión de 17 Geoparques europeos y 8 Geoparques chinos. Por último, una fecha destacada para la protección del patrimonio geológico fue la de noviembre de 2015, cuando los 195 Estados miembros de la UNESCO, en su Consejo General, establecieron la creación del Programa Geoparques Mundiales de la UNESCO (Nikolova & Sinnyovsky, 2019;Sánchez-Cortez & Simbaña-Tasiguano, 2018).…”

El creciente interés que está generando el patrimonio geológico pone de relieve la necesidad de evaluar su producción científica. Por ello, en el presente trabajo se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica sobre dicha temática. Concretamente, la metodología empleada se ha sustentado en la búsqueda exhaustiva por palabras clave. Para los artículos españoles se han empleado las bases de datos bibliográficas del Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales del CSIC y Dialnet y para los publicados en revistas internacionales se han utilizado las bases de datos bibliográficas de Scopus, la Web of Science y Google Scholar. En el apartado de resultados se ofrece un análisis diacrónico de la producción científica, su origen académico, científico y espacial, los temas específicos abordados y las revistas que participan en la publicación y difusión de los conocimientos y avances sobre patrimonio. Los resultados se ofrecen de forma sintética, no sólo a partir de gráficos y tablas, sino también mediante el empleo de cartografía. Como conclusión destacable, conviene subrayar la consolidación de la investigación sobre el patrimonio geológico.
