UNESCO evaluators visit Ynys Môn for Global Geopark review; the process of revalidating Ynys Môn’s status as a UNESCO Global Geopark (which takes place every four years) has seen two evaluators, Suzana Fajmut Struci and Alexandru Andrasanu, pay a visit to the island. They were welcomed by Ynys Môn MP, Llinos Medi, who said: “It was fantastic to welcome the UNESCO evaluators and show them our ‘can‑do island’ spirit – strong partnerships, hard work, and determination. “This status helps protect our environment, boost education, attract tourism, and create jobs right here at home. “I want to thank the dedicated team at GeoMôn, and all the volunteers who work so hard to share our geological heritage with the world.” Earlier this month, Ms Medi tabled a parliamentary motion acknowledging the global significance of Ynys Môn’s geology and praising GeoMôn’s efforts.

She also raised the issue in Parliament, calling for greater recognition of the island’s educational and environmental value. She said: “We’re incredibly lucky to live on an island that shows 1.8 billion years of Earth’s story. “I want to make sure that Ynys Môn continues to be recognised and celebrated globally for its unique landscape.”

Gary Pritchard, leader of Ynys Môn county council, said: “As the leader of the council I am extremely proud to support GeoMôn during the revalidation of our island’s UNESCO Global Geopark status. “The work that GeoMôn’s volunteers do is exceptional, and a vital asset to our island in the areas of education, heritage, and tourism.”

GeoMôn is proud to have excellent relationships with many businesses and organisations across the geopark. These are groups with an understanding of the value and special nature of Ynys Mon and are supportive of the work we do as a UNESCO Global Geopark.   These ae some of the businesses and heritage bodies that support our GeoPark status
