PROTECTING LANGUAGES AND REVEALING THE BEAUTY OF NATURE
THE 'I AM' PROJECT
I AM project has been created to reveal the beauty of any language across the globe and the beauty of nature too. The objective of that initiative is to protect endangered languages for the next generations. The I AM project reminds that human beings and nature are connected and cannot be separated. the I AM project is the voice of the forests, the oceans, species, the earth and the sky. Any participant can be part of the initiative by recording her/his voice, reading the words of the elements of the environment. The audio files are stored and published on the official website. The I AM initiative is a cultural project. Protecting languages is a duty of memory.
WORLD HERITAGE
The general consensus is that there are between 6,000 and 7,000 languages currently spoken and that between 50% and 90% of them will have become extinct by the year 2100.
