Abstract
During the last decade, the three geoconservationist members of IUCN (SGE, ProGEO and SEDPGyM) have been contributing towards the inclusion and appropriate consideration of geoheritage and geodiversity in IUCN policies. We herein synthesize the recent process of elaborating, modifying, defending and voting at the 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress the resolutions related with the conservation of geoheritage and geodiversity, that is, related with geoconservation. These three organizations succeeded in explicitly referring to geodiversity and geoheritage in the resolutions, and to use inclusive terms such as natural heritage or natural diversity in others, in compliance with IUCN resolution WCC-2012-Res-048. In addition, they drafted and proposed a motion for the conservation of the moveable geoheritage that was finally approved as Resolution WCC-2016-Res-083. We herein attempt to summarize their meaning and analyze the potential implications of these resolutions, proposing lines of action for the future
