This special volume consists of invited contributions based on presentations given at the three PaleoParks Workshops at the International Geological Congress in Florence (2004) and Oslo (2008) and the International Paleontological Congress in Beijing (2006).

For their interest, comments and advice about the PaleoParks initiative the editors thank (in alphabetic order): R. Aldridge (Leicester, UK), D. Harper (Copenhagen, Denmark), B. Lieberman (Lawrence, Kansas, USA), and R. Maddocks (Houston, Texas, USA). PaleoParks is a special project of the International Paleontological Association (URL: http://ipa.geo.ku.edu/) under the direction of J.H. Lipps (Berkeley, California, USA) as the IPA Delegate for PaleoParks. Alain Coutelle (Brest, France) provided invaluable help for the translation of the English abstracts into French.
