韋德大衛斯討論瀕危文化

Human cultures are disappearing faster than species, with half of the world's 6,000 languages no longer taught to children. Each language and tradition encodes a unique way of seeing reality, from the Barasana who marry outside their language to the Kogi who train shamans in darkness for 18 years. When a language dies every two weeks, a whole lineage of wisdom, myth, and perspective vanishes. The survival of cultural diversity is as vital to the planet as the preservation of its biological life.
