As the forests are felled, cultures are destroyed. In our
technological civilization, the forces of globalization are a
threat to both nature and culture. The many and varied cultures of
the world are beset by the homogenizing impact of the global media,
which represents the triumph of technics. The fate can only be
averted by a concerted effort at culture conservation. Nature and
culture must be protected to preserve a humanly habitable world.
Conserving Cultures is the first book to link nature and culture
conservation. The threat to nature is now well understood, how it
relates to cultures is not. This book both describes and analyzes
theoretically the danger to culture and proposes practical remedial
measures.
