The geological, mineralogical, geophysical, geomorphological, paleontological or geographic resources, specific to each geopark, are intended to be used as a basis for the promotion of geological heritage to:
Promote education in geological and environmental aspects,
ensure sustained development based on geotourism, and
contribute to the protection of threatened geological sites.

Education.
Geoscience research.

A geopark is based on its geological peculiarities, but it is not only about geology. Although a geopark must demonstrate that it contains a geological heritage of international relevance, its objectives must explore, develop and promote the relationships between its geological heritage and all other heritage aspects – whether natural, cultural or intangible – present in the area.
Un geoparque se fundamenta en sus peculiaridades geológicas, pero no sólo trata de geología. Aunque un geoparque debe demostrar que contiene un patrimonio geológico de relevancia internacional, sus objetivos deben explorar, desarrollar y promover las relaciones entre su patrimonio geológico y todos los demás aspectos patrimoniales –ya sean naturales, culturales o intangibles– presentes en la zona.
