ProGEO – The European Association for the Conservation of the Geological Heritage topimage1
ProGEO is an association that is open to all, and most of Europe's nations are represented by members. ProGEO is working to promote the protection of Europe's typical and important landscapes, as well as its many-faceted heritage of geological phenomena, all of the greatest scientific and cultural importance. ProGEO intends to give Earth-science conservation in Europe a stronger voice, and to act as a forum for the discussion of issues, advising and influencing policy makers.

The only record of the history of our planet lies in the rocks beneath our feet: rocks and the landscape are the memory of the Earth. Here, and only here, is it possible to trace the processes, changes and upheavals which have formed our planet over thousands of millions of years: the more recent part of this record, of course, includes the evolution of life, including Man. The record preserved in the rocks and landscape is unique, and much of it is surprisingly fragile. Today it is threatened more than ever. What is lost can never be recovered, and therefore there is an urgent need to understand and protect what remains of this our common heritage.
