The application for the aspirant UNESCO Geopark Oltenia de sub Munte had to be withdrawn
Bucharest, July 16, 2024 - Oltenia de sub Munte - UNESCO Aspirant Geopark, a major project of the Kogayon Association, underwent an international evaluation mission last week. The International Network of UNESCO Geoparks currently encompasses 213 UNESCO International Geoparks in 48 countries, including two in Romania: the UNESCO International Geopark Țara Hațegului and the UNESCO International Geopark Ținutul Buzăului. Once integrated into the Network, the territory of the aspiring UNESCO Geopark Oltenia de sub Munte would have benefited from the prestigious UNESCO site designation, with all the material and immaterial advantages, in particular promotion and notoriety at international level.
