Endangered cultures are common among many civilizations throughout history and the world. In a majority of these cases, they are lost or barely cling to life through the descendants of the people who are in them. While not a distinctly endangered culture, the Australian aboriginal culture loses many of its cultural traditions and languages over time simply due to small practices or time. The aboriginal people in Australia have a history of racism and mistreatment in the greater Australian society similar to many of the other native dwellers of land colonized by the British empire. Because of this the aboriginal population is a small fraction of the current population of Australia standing at 3.8% of the population according to the Australian census of 2016.

Ensuring that the cultures of these people remain healthy and in practice requires many events and interest to keep it alive. But why bother trying to maintain a diverse world? Biodiversity in a habitat, animal or human is extremely beneficial towards our wellbeing as a species. One such reason why this might be so important is because a world rich with different perspectives allows us to consider our standing on many political issues and other like decisions more thoroughly. With only one group of people with similar experiences, ideals and backgrounds controlling major issues the results would be highly polarized towards one side of the debate without consideration for the other. Without the essential views of the people effected by decisions we become a civilization pushed to more and more extremes as the negatively affected groups try to make their voices heard.

Maintaining and growing more culturally diverse environments exposes more people to change and flexibility in what their beliefs, cultures and experiences are giving the people a better mindset towards the progression of society and its denizens.
