Spanish Inventory of Places of Geological Interest (IELIG)
Database of the Spanish Inventory of Places of Geological Interest (IELIG) which, in accordance with Law 42/2007, must be drawn up and updated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, with the collaboration of the Autonomous Communities and scientific institutions. Royal Decree 1274/2011, entrusts the IGME with the completion of this inventory, without prejudice to the actions that the Autonomous Communities, in the use of their powers, carry out to complete it in their respective territories. Includes LIGs from the former IGME national inventory (developed basically between 1978 and 1988) and MAGNA geological mapping projects, plus sites that come from the IGME inventory carried out with the methodology designed for the IELIG but which have not been collected by the official autonomous inventories.

- Purpose
-
The main objective of the IELIG is to identify an infrastructure of knowledge of the Spanish geological heritage that can identify and provide precise and updated information on areas or enclaves of interest belonging to the most representative geological units of Spain and the Spanish geological contexts of world relevance. To gather the places of interest, due to their unique and/or representative character, for the study and interpretation of the origin and evolution of the great Spanish geological domains, including the processes that have modelled them, the climates of the past and their paleobiological evolution.
