Meratus Geopark has 36 geosites derived from uplifted ophiolite rocks, which are now scattered in the form of caves, waterfalls, lakes, beaches, rocks, and hills. Managing a Geopark increases the values of the four pillars, namely the pillars of conservation, education, economy, and governance. The green economy is the direct approach, where tourism-oriented geosites must be followed by preservation, education, and community development. Geopark Meratus will be a new showcase in Indonesia on managing geoparks comprehensively, encouraging the four pillars.
