Abstract
This paper reviews the concept of geological resource conservation practised in Austria. Although many high value geological resources exist, the number of sites protected on the basis of scientific importance remains small. To improve the situation, efforts need to be sustained. Conservation efforts should begin with a public awareness programme on the significance of geosites in the context of the history of the Earth at the national and global levels. Several conservation and resource utilization programmes need to be introduced to the general public in an innovation and friendly manner. Experiences in selected in-situ and ex-situ conservation programmes are disclosed.
