Paper doi abstract bibtex Nature conservation has become synonymous with biodiversity conservation and despite recent acknowledgements of the importance of geodiversity it is unrealistic to believe current European geoconservation efforts are either equal to those focused on biodiversity conservation, or sufficient to effectively conserve Europe's geodiversity. This is despite the multitude of studies reporting the inherent linkages between geodiversity and biodiversity and, in particular, the role geodiversity performs in determining biotic species richness patterns. Thus, there is an urgent need to accentuate the principle that natural diversity is composed of both geodiversity and biodiversity, and that proficient conservation requires a holistic approach that views nature as a complex interaction of biodiversity and geodiversity pattern and process. This paper identifies a three-tiered conceptual framework for achieving integrated nature conservation in a European context. The primary in situ conservation method proposed is an integrated European protected area network aimed at representing all aspects of unique geodiversity and biodiversity. Regarding nature conservation as a whole, the benefits of a geo-ecological approach, that is, a conservation approach focused on the interlinked nature of biological and geological processes, landscape functionality, and the inevitably of environmental change, as opposed to individual landform and species conservation, are discussed. As a separate but linked concept, the issue of reducing confusion surrounding terminology in the geoconservation and biodiversity conservation literature is also explored. © 2013 The European Association for Conservation of the Geological Heritage.
