I think others here have made a decent case for the value language conservation provides to linguistic theory, but the replies have been scant on the value these languages have towards their communities. I recommend you check out When Languages Die by K. David Harrison (he's also made a documentary, The Linguists which is nice too). Also check out Dying Words by the aforementioned Nick Evans (I'm meeting him in a few weeks, so excited!). I also recommend joining the Resource Network For Linguistic Diversity on Facebook as well as the open-access online journal Language Documentation and Conservation.
Dying Words by Nick Evans is great.
