It reflects a group's unique history, identity, and way of life, often embodied in rituals, craftsmanship, music, cuisine, and festivals. Preserving this heritage helps maintain cultural diversity, foster community pride, and provide a sense of continuity. It is a valuable link to the past that shapes present and future societal values, fostering understanding and respect among different communities.
