The Current - Back to the Land: Preserving Indigenous languages could be good for the planet, say researchers 

It’s expected that 50 to 90 per cent of the world’s 7,000 languages will be lost by the end of the century, with research suggesting a loss of languages is linked to a loss of biodiversity. Plant medicine educator Joe Pitawanakwat has made teaching about medicine plants — and preserving their Anishinaabemowin names — his life work. He talks to Duncan McCue, who explores what Pitawanakwat’s work could mean for the planet.

Back to the Land is a four-part series about people who are (re)connecting with nature and the outdoors.
 

Party Lines with Rosemary Barton and Elamin Abdelmahmoud 

This is it: the final stretch before election day. Rosie and Elamin have noticed that the major party leaders have shifted their tone into more negative territory this week — but does that risk alienating voters and reaffirming the worst feelings people have about politics? And what about the risk of people feeling more divided than ever before?

Elamin also breaks down some of the biggest differences between what the major parties are putting on the table as they continue to court voters, and Rosie maps out what she’ll be watching for, come Monday evening (which could, potentially, be a very late night).
