Project Cybele - An Integrated Geopark

Geoparks are important educational devices at local and international levels as they play crucial roles in teaching and learning geosciences outdoors, to get familiar with the concepts and rules in nature, an important role in reducing the losses and casualties of natural disasters which will add a modest contribution to the worldwide climate change crisis.

People.

Within our sustainable philosophy, we include employees, customers, citizens, and communities to our thought process. At the internal level, we commit to keeping our employees safe within the business with an emphasis on a healthy workplace and practices that involve low risk for employees in addition to low impact on the earth’s environment.

Externally, we work towards bringing a positive change within the community through education and fostering local enterprises. After decades of trying to engage people with solutions to climate change, it’s time to go beyond behavior change and recognize people as agents of change, rather than objects to be changed.

Profit.

Our profit is the Natural capital, a way of thinking about nature as a stock that provides a flow of benefits to people and the economy. It consists of natural capital assets – such as water, forests, clean air and the goods and services that natural capital provides such as foods, water, or climate regulation are called ecosystem services. These provide people everywhere with the means for healthy lives and underpin all economic activity.

Increasing pressures on nature, from climate change and biodiversity loss, for instance, are degrading the ecosystems on which our economies depend. This carries real and immediate risks for businesses.
