The fundamental goals of Geoparks are territorial sustainable development and support for local economy and products through the development of alternative forms of tourism, such as Geotourism.<\/p><p>Geoparks were established as an institution in 2000 in four rural parts of Europe &#8211; one of them being the Petrified Forest of Lesvos &#8211; with the establishment of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeangeoparks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>European Geoparks Network<\/strong><\/a>. In 2004, recognizing their role, UNESCO placed the European Geoparks under its auspices and, following suite, created the <strong>Global Geoparks Network<\/strong>. Currently, four Greek areas, namely, the Petrified Forest of Lesbos Geopark, the Psiloritis Geopark, the Chelmos-Vouraikos Geopark in the Peloponnese and the Vikos-Aoos Geopark in Epirus, belong to the European and Global Geoparks networks, which include 64 and 111 members respectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
