These campaigns covered various topics, including the principles and significance of establishing, constructing, and developing Lang Son Geopark; the roles, positions, importance, and significance of geological, cultural, and biological heritage, as well as environmental protection within Lang Son Geopark; introducing the UNESCO Global Geoparks, the Global Geoparks Network, the Asia-Pacific Geoparks Network, and the Vietnam Geoparks Network; providing information on the 12 important tasks outlined in the Project for the establishment, construction, and development of Lang Son Geopark in the 2021-2025 period; and the implementation plan for the construction and development tasks of Lang Son Geopark in 2022.
In addition, the Management Board of Lang Son Geopark also organizes awareness-raising activities on an overview of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the National Action Plan for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); World Water Day on March 22, 2022; International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) on May 22, 2022; World Environment Day on June 5, 2022; and Vietnam's Traditional Tourism Day on July 9, 2022...
