在概述了语言多样性和语言濒危的现状之后，本章考察了语言多样性和生态多样性之间地理界面的性质。它解释了为什么语言的灭绝是全球生态系统几乎完全崩溃的更大图景的一部分，以及为什么语言是复杂的地方生态系统的重要组成部分，如果要保持全球生物多样性，就必须得到支持。鉴于物种和语言及其相关文化的潜在濒危地区之间的密切关系，本章建议，需要制定综合战略，以确保人类多样性和生物多样性在我们这个迅速全球化的星球上的生存。
After outlining the current state of linguistic diversity and language endangerment, this chapter examines the nature of the geographic interface between linguistic and ecological diversity. It explains why the extinction of languages is part of the larger picture of near-total collapse of the worldwide ecosystem, and why languages are vital parts of complex local ecologies that must be supported if global biodiversity is to be maintained. In view of the strong relationship between areas of potential endangerment for species and for languages and their associated cultures, the chapter suggests that integrated strategies need to be developed to ensure the survival of both human diversity and biological diversity on our rapidly globalizing planet.
