Evropské geoparky UNESCO tvoří síť, která se stará o zachování jedinečných geologických oblastí. V Evropě se počet členů od roku 2000 rozrostl z původních čtyř na pětadvacet. Vytvářením globální sítě geoparků UNESCO, která v současnosti zahrnuje 33 území, se myšlenky geoparků prosazují po celém světě.

The European Geoparks Network was instituted by a Charter in 2000. EGN associates 31 geoparks from various European countries in 2007. The main aim of geoparks is to promote protection of geological heritage, increase public awareness of Earth sciences, to support special tourism and sustainable development within the geoparks. First International conference on geoparks adopted Peking Declaration (2004) on protection of geological heritage. Consequently the Global Geoparks Network has been established. According to Madonie declaration (PDF, 34.1 KB) (2004) each European geopark is at the same time a member of the Global Geoparks Network. For Charter, Declarations and more information about the networks go to the webpages of GGN and EGN - www.worldgeopark.org , www.worldgeoparks.eu . The term geopark is not mentioned in Czech laws. Geoparks originate from the spontaneous joint work of various subjects within the area. Basic rules for geoparks in the Czech Republic has been set up by MoE regulation No. 6/2007. Bohemian Paradise became the first Czech member of European/Global Geopark Networks in 2005. The geopark with the area nearly 700 km² is substantially larger than protected landscape area of the same name. The geopark includes variety of geological phenomena, paleontological, mineralogical and archeological localities and historical monuments.

The area of Bohemian Paradise Geopark is shown on a map:
