Nesta segunda-feira, o Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (DER-RJ) deu início à instalação do primeiro painel de sinalização do Geoparque Costões e Lagunas do estado, situado em Saquarema. Essa iniciativa, realizada em parceria com a Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), tem como objetivo principal a conservação e promoção dos Geoparques, áreas de notável beleza natural e relevância geocientífica. O projeto tem uma abrangência significativa, englobando áreas em 16 municípios do litoral Norte e Leste do estado.

A sinalização nas rodovias estaduais realizada pelo DER-RJ reforça a importância da geoconservação, educando tanto os moradores locais quanto os visitantes sobre a relevância e os limites do Geoparque. Além disso, visa facilitar o acesso seguro aos pontos de interesse dentro dessas áreas.

Os geoparques desempenham um papel crucial como centros de conservação e turismo, promovendo a sustentabilidade e envolvendo ativamente as comunidades locais. O Geoparque Costões e Lagunas abrange uma ampla gama de municípios, incluindo Araruama, Armação dos Búzios, Arraial do Cabo, Cabo Frio, Carapebus, Campos dos Goytacazes, Casimiro de Abreu, Iguaba Grande, Macaé, Maricá, Quissamã, Rio das Ostras, São Francisco de Itabapoana, São João da Barra, São Pedro da Aldeia e Saquarema. Nessas localidades, equipes do projeto desenvolvem atividades educacionais e turísticas para os moradores.

Os Geoparques não apenas contam a história geológica e cultural de uma região, mas também representam um potencial significativo para o turismo e a economia local. Se receber a chancela da Unesco, o Geoparque Costões e Lagunas alcançará reconhecimento internacional, valorizando ainda mais o turismo e a economia locais, enquanto se torna um exemplo de conservação e desenvolvimento sustentável.
