Belarus plans to create a geopark

The first geopark in the country is planned to be created on the territories of the Narachanski and Braslaw Lakes National Parks, Sputnik reported.

There is a certain infrastructure in these territories and tourism is well organized in these parks. The Bashkir delegation, which is on a working visit to Belarus these days, plans to assess the potential of the parks. After that, experts will give their Belarusian colleagues recommendations on defining the boundaries for creating the geopark.

This was told by the Executive Director of the UNESCO Committee in Belarus at the press conference "Joint projects of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Republic of Belarus".

Belarusian projects were included in the shortlist of the international competition "Green Eurasia". The winners of the contest will be announced on May 24.
