Language Conservation

Language conservation involves efforts to preserve and maintain languages that are at risk of disappearing, often because fewer people speak them. As languages can hold unique cultural knowledge and identity, conserving them helps keep diverse heritages alive. This can include documenting languages, teaching them to new generations, and encouraging their use in daily life. The goal is to prevent the loss of linguistic diversity, ensuring that future generations can access the richness of different ways of thinking, storytelling, and cultural expression embedded in these languages.
