Cultural preservation includes documenting and studying languages; preserving and restoring historic relics significant to a culture or heritage; and encouraging the preservation and use of indigenous or tribal languages and rituals.
Several non-profits are working towards cultural preservation, language, monuments, and heritage, all of which cannot be done without the contribution of philanthropists and like-minded people.
