Cultural diversity expands choices, nurtures a variety of skills, human values and worldviews and provides wisdom from the past to inform the future. Cultural diversity is a mainspring for sustainable development for individuals, communities and countries. Thus, building an effective global approach to sustainable development needs to address respecting, protecting and maintaining the cultural diversity of the world now and in the future. - UNESCO

Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms.Jul 20, 1998
