"Languages disappear, ancient traditions are forgotten, artworks are destroyed. In an increasingly globalized world, the risk of standardization of cultures on the planet has never been greater. We must warn the world about the importance of preserving cultural diversity of peoples. The diversity of the earth is not composed only of plants and animals (biodiversity), but also of languages and cultures found in different human societies (cultural and linguistic diversity). A warning: the loss of this diversity can be so damaging to the planet and the devastation of the environment.
