The guide has been developed by an international team of experts, led by Scottish geologist Roger Crofts, Chair of the Specilist Group og Geoheritage Conservation, World Commission on Protected Areas. Josep Maria Mallarach (Silene Association) contributed with religious and spiritual values of geological heritage, including examples from around the world.
