ProGEO promotes the protection of important geological sites and landscapes, as well as the diverse heritage of geological features with scientific, educational, tourist and cultural relevance.

We intend to give geoconservation a stronger voice, and to act as a forum for the discussion of significant nature conservation issues, advising and influencing policy makers.

We are a NGO with national groups in most of Europe's nations and individual members distributed worldwide.

Is an association of all kinds of conservation practitioners and all types of geoscientists, who are involved in geoconservation as planners, as geoheritage managers and interpreters, in geological surveys, as museum curators, researchers, educationalists and those concerned with tourism.

We look to a future in which the conservation of physical landscapes and geosites is given equal prominence in all countries, integrated and on a par with other forms of conservation. ProGEO acts as a focus on geoheritage and for projects which will strengthen our capacity to protect it.

ProGEO is an affiliated organisation of the IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences), and a member of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
