Ynys Môn’s status as a UNESCO Global Geopark

That this House celebrates Ynys Môn’s status as a Global Geopark, having been admitted to the European Geoparks Network and to the UNESCO-assisted Global Network of National Geoparks in May 2009; notes that the island's geological history spans four eras, twelve geological periods, and 1.8 billion years, with more than 100 rock types representing ancient oceans, volcanoes, and glacial periods; further notes that this makes the island a globally significant site for geological study and appreciation; highlights that all UNESCO Global Geoparks are subject to a thorough revalidation process every four years to assess their functionality and quality, with Ynys Môn due for revalidation this year; and commends the geologists, businesses, university staff, local people and community leaders at the GeoMôn centre in Porth Amlwch, whose hard work has provided Ynys Môn with its coveted Global Geopark status.
