Zagora Province in south eastern Morocco is characterised by its desert environment as well as its culture, people, biodiversity and geology inherited from the Anti-Atlas chain. But the value of this geodiversity is not widely recognised. Ordovician and Quaternary deposits are the most dominant outcrops in the province. Within the former, the Fezouata Shales constitute an information source for palaeontologists about the marine life explosion at the beginning of the Ordovician Period. Taking into account this important scientific value, the fossiliferous Fezouata Formation presents a global geoheritage with a geo-educational potential. In addition, the Ordovician and the Quaternary deposits in Zagora Province provide a rich geodiversity of scientific, educational and tourism interests. In order to protect and to promote this geoheritage, an inventory of geosites and geodiversity sites is being established, which should serve as a database helping the regional authorities to properly manage the geoheritage within the framework of the future aspiring Bani Geopark. In the present paper an assessment of the geosites’ scientific value was established using a quantitative methodology in order to obtain numerical scores. Adding the quantitative assessment of the degradation degree has resulted in the fossiliferous geosites from Fezouata Formation being selected as the most vulnerable areas in need of geoconservation programmes and protection strategies.

Bani地质公园项目(摩洛哥东南部)对Zagora省地质遗产的首次清点和评估

摩洛哥东南部的扎戈拉省的特点是其沙漠环境以及从反阿特拉斯链传承而来的文化,人民,生物多样性和地质。但是,这种地球多样性的价值并未得到广泛认可。奥陶纪和第四纪矿床是该省最主要的露头。在前者内部,Fezouata页岩构成了古生物学家有关奥陶纪初期海洋生物爆炸的信息来源。考虑到这一重要的科学价值,化石的Fezouata地层呈现出具有地质教育潜力的全球地质遗产。此外,扎戈拉省的奥陶纪和第四纪矿床提供了丰富的科学,教育和旅游兴趣。为了保护和促进这种地理遗产,正在建立一个地质遗址和地球多样性遗址清单,该清单应作为一个数据库,帮助区域当局在有抱负的未来巴尼地质公园的框架内适当管理地质遗产。在本文中,使用定量方法建立了对地质遗址科学价值的评估,以便获得数值分数。加上对退化程度的定量评估,使得来自Fezouata组的化石地质遗址被选为最需要地质保护计划和保护策略的地区。在本文中,使用定量方法建立了对地质遗址科学价值的评估,以便获得数值分数。加上对退化程度的定量评估,使得来自Fezouata组的化石地质遗址被选为最需要地质保护计划和保护策略的地区。在本文中,使用定量方法建立了对地质遗址科学价值的评估,以便获得数值分数。加上对退化程度的定量评估,使得来自Fezouata组的化石地质遗址被选为最需要地质保护计划和保护策略的地区。
