Geoparks are territories with areas capable of illustrating important phenomena and geological processes, which also add cultural and ecological values, and where a development process based on sustainability and the involvement of the local community is implemented. The correct cataloging of geosites in the areas where the implementation of a geopark is proposed can be an important tool to guide the development strategies of this territory. The objective of this study was to quantify the Potential for Educational Use, Potential for Tourist Use of Geopark Bodoquena-Pantanal, comparing them with their Potential Risk of Degradation. To reach the objectives, the methodological procedures were based on: pre-field activities – in which we sought to collect the existing information about the areas under study, as well as the initial contact for technical visit authorization; Field activities – in which the areas were visited, raising the necessary information for the study; Post-field activities – the inventory of geosites and geological sites. As a result, we identified that the best ranked sites are geodiversity sites, and with lower degradation risk, are distributed in the two regions: Southwest (Bonito-Serra da Bodoquena) and Pantanal, and that these areas have great potential to receive visitors in the short term, which may increase the chances of implantation and consolidation of the Bodoquena-Pantanal Geopark.
