The study identified that high biodiversity
areas also had high linguistic diversity |
The authors said that 70% of the world's languages were
found within the planet's biodiversity hotspots.
Data showed that as these important environmental areas were
degraded over time, cultures and languages in the area were also being lost.
The results of the study have been published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
"Biologists estimate annual loss of species at 1,000
times or more greater than historic rates, and linguists predict that 50-90% of
the world's languages will disappear by the end of the century," the
researchers wrote. (Read further: Source)
