Abstract

This study investigates the integration of geoheritage into geoconservation strategies, with a specific emphasis on the Khowai Badlands in West Bengal, India. Recognizing the importance of preserving geological, ecological, and cultural heritage, this research aims to address the challenges and opportunities associated with holistic conservation approaches. Methodologically, the study employs a combination of literature review, case study analysis, and policy evaluations. The findings underscore the critical role of geological formations in supporting biodiversity and the cultural heritage embedded within these landscapes. Moreover, the study emphasizes the need for sustainable tourism practices and community involvement in conservation efforts, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our planet’s natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
