Abstract

One of the main missions of the Geoparks is to sensibilize the inhabitants of the protected territories to the rich geoheritage that surrounds them through numerous educational activities, such as guided tours of geological sites, thematic workshops on Quercy paleontology, or training courses for schoolchildren and professionals. However, it can sometimes be difficult to convey important concepts and information without adapted educational material. The paleontological heritage of the Geopark UNESCO Causses du Quercy is extremely rich, but also extremely fragile, with many unique and precious fossils that are difficult to valorize. 3D printing of these exceptional pieces after being scanned is an efficient method to overcome this problem. 3D printing is now regularly used in educational operations on the geopark territory. In a span of a year, we have already observed several positive outcomes from the use of these prints. In particular, the public, both scholars and general public, is more receptive and more active during the educational activities offered by the Geopark teams, and the information is thus more easily transmitted. Also, the prints allow us to illustrate concepts or information that is otherwise more difficult to explain. Finally, this technique allows us to put a fragile and previously inaccessible geoheritage within reach of everyone, which is an ideal window to make the public understand its value and richness.

三维打印--提高法国凯尔西高地联合国教科文组织全球地质公园地质遗产意识的工具
地质公园的主要任务之一是通过各种教育活动,如地质遗迹导游、魁尔西古生物学专题研讨会或针对学生和专业人员的培训课程,使受保护地区的居民了解其周围丰富的地质遗产。然而,如果没有经过改编的教材,有时很难传达重要的概念和信息。联合国教科文组织魁尔西高斯地质公园的古生物遗产极为丰富,但也极为脆弱,许多独特而珍贵的化石难以估价。将这些特殊化石扫描后进行 3D 打印是解决这一问题的有效方法。现在,3D 打印技术已被定期用于地质公园的教育活动中。在一年的时间里,我们已经观察到使用这些打印件所产生的一些积极成果。特别是,在地质公园团队提供的教育活动中,公众(包括学者和普通公众)更乐于接受,也更加积极,信息也因此更容易传播。此外,版画还能让我们说明一些较难解释的概念或信息。最后,这项技术使我们能够让每个人都能接触到以前无法接触到的脆弱地质遗产,这是让公众了解其价值和丰富性的理想窗口。

The journal will invite all contributions on the conservation of sites and materials - use, protection and practical heritage management - as well as its interpretation through education, training and tourism. The journal wishes to cover all aspects of geoheritage and its protection. Key topics are: - Identification, characterisation, quantification and management of geoheritage; - Geodiversity and geosites; - On-site science, geological and geomorphological research: - Global scientific heritage - key scientific geosites, GSSPs, stratotype conservation and management; - Scientific research and education, and the promotion of the geosciences thereby; - Conventions, statute and legal instruments, national and international; - Integration of biodiversity and geodiversity in nature conservation and land-use policies; - Geological heritage and Environmental Impact Assessment studies; - Geological heritage, sustainable development, community action, practical initiatives and tourism; - Geoparks: creation, management and outputs; - Conservation in the natural world, Man-made and natural impacts, climate change; - Geotourism definitions, methodologies, and case studies; - International mechanisms for conservation and popularisation - World Heritage Sites, National Parks etc.; - Materials, data and people important in the history of science, museums, collections and all portable geoheritage; - Education and training of geoheritage specialists; - Pedagogical use of geological heritage - publications, teaching media, trails, centres, on-site museums; - Linking the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005- 2014) with geoconservation.
