Preserving cultural heritage in conservation is significant as it fosters a sense of identity and belonging within communities, providing a connection to their history and traditions. Conservation efforts that include cultural heritage maintain biodiversity and ecosystem integrity while respecting and incorporating the values and practices of indigenous peoples. This holistic approach encourages sustainable resource management, as cultural practices often emphasize harmony with nature. Protecting cultural sites and knowledge also enhances resilience against the impacts of climate change, ensuring that local traditions and ecosystems can coexist adaptively.
