==Description==
Cultural '''heritage''' ("national heritage" or just "heritage") is the [[legacy]] of physical [[artifacts]] (cultural property) and intangible [[attributes]] of a group or [[society]] that are inherited from past [[generations]], maintained in the present and [[bestowed]] for the benefit of [[future]] generations. Cultural heritage includes tangible [[culture]] (such as buildings, [[monuments]], landscapes, [[books]], works of [[art]], and [[artifacts]]), intangible culture (such as folklore, [[traditions]], [[language]], and [[knowledge]]), and natural heritage (including culturally-significant landscapes, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiversity biodiversity]).
The deliberate [[act]] of keeping cultural heritage from the present for the future is known as Preservation (American English) or Conservation (British English), though these [[terms]] may have more specific or technical [[meaning]] in the same [[contexts]] in the other [[dialect]].
Cultural heritage is [[unique]] and irreplaceable, which places the [[responsibility]] of preservation on the current [[generation]]. Smaller objects such as artworks and other cultural [[masterpieces]] are collected in [[museums]] and art galleries. Grass roots [[organizations]] and political groups, such as the international body [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO UNESCO], have been successful at gaining the [[necessary]] support to preserve the heritage of many nations for the [[future]].[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_heritage]
