The Salt Range, Pakistan exhibits the most complete record of sedimentary successions, ranging from Precambrian to Quaternary period and acts as a natural field museum for geologists. Unfortunately, the lack of responsiveness among population and geo heritage managing institutions in Pakistan, this beautiful and valuable museum is excavated for construction purposes. Based on the preliminary geo heritage assessment and evaluation, the Salt Range, Pakistan is subdivided into a possible combinations of eight different geo-sites. So, a new methodology (multidisciplinary integrated approaches (MMIA)) has been adopted in this paper which combines three key quantitative indicators i.e., scientific values (SV), relevance grade (RG) and abstract perceptiveness (AP).The classification scheme of the geo-sites in the Salt Range further define the divisions based on the global, conceptual, and scenic values having global stratigraphic correlation and fossils abundances. This research provides the preliminary studies to evaluate, identify, and categorizes the potential of the exposed successions of Salt Range to become a global geopark under the UNESCO operational guidelines and global geopark features. This work may help in the development of new geoparks in a country where the global geopark perception is innovative and evolving. In general, the proposed geo-sites of the Salt Range have high scientific values, regional to global relevance grade and poor geoconservation which are at the high risk of erosion or other means of degradation by natural or anthropogenic.The inventories and their results display the scientific importance of the study area. Therefore unified policies should be implemented for the protection and conservation of natural museums of geology for the future which could help in the country's sustainable development by promoting geo-tourism.

巴基斯坦盐范围前寒武纪至第四纪演替地质和古生物遗址清单和定量评估的综合方法

巴基斯坦的盐山山脉展示了从前寒武纪到第四纪的最完整的沉积演替记录,并且是地质学家的天然博物馆。不幸的是,由于巴基斯坦人口和地理遗产管理机构缺乏回应,这座美丽而有价值的博物馆被挖掘出来用于建筑目的。根据初步的地质遗产评估和评估,巴基斯坦的盐山地被细分为八个不同地理位置的可能组合。因此,本文采用了一种新的方法(多学科综合方法(MMIA)),该方法结合了三个关键的定量指标,即科学价值(SV),相关性等级(RG)和抽象知觉(AP)。盐范围内的地理位置分类方案进一步根据具有全球地层相关性和化石丰富度的全球,概念和风景价值来定义分区。这项研究提供了初步的研究,以评估,确定和归类盐田裸露的继任者成为联合国教科文组织业务准则和全球地质公园特征下的全球地质公园的潜力。这项工作可能有助于在一个国家对全球地质公园的认识不断创新和发展的国家中开发新的地质公园。一般而言,拟议中的盐岭地质位点具有很高的科学价值,具有区域到全球的相关等级,并且地质保护差,极易受到自然或人为侵蚀或其他退化方式的威胁。清单及其结果显示了研究区域的科学重要性。因此,未来应实施统一的政策来保护和保护自然地质博物馆,这可以通过促进地质旅游来促进该国的可持续发展。
