In Somankottai village of Tamil Nadu’s Tiruppur district, Dr Kandasami Saravanan has created a lush green haven of moringa oleifera on four acres of land. Departing from conventional practices of waiting for the trees to bear drumsticks, Dr Saravanan opts to quickly harvest its leaves.

The first time I went to North Korea, I thought I knew what to expect.I was living in Beijing at the time, which was near North Korea. I figured it would be a bit like China or a bit like Russia. There are definitely those elements, especially if you look for them; but the reality is that it is its own place. In the two decades since then, I've visited North Korea more than 180 times on various tours and trips — perhaps the most of any Westerner. (Tour operator Simon Cockerell on his first trip to North Korea in 2002.Pictured with a North Korean tour guide in front of a statue of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang.Simon Cockerell) North Korea has been...

From the bustling metropolis of the United Kingdom to the serene landscapes of Belgium and France, cities around the world are removing unnecessary stretches of concrete and asphalt to allow nature to reclaim these areas.

Depaving is becoming increasingly popular due to its significant environmental and social benefits. The practice helps improve urban environments by reducing stormwater runoff, enhancing soil health, and creating green spaces. It is often part of broader efforts to develop more sustainable and eco-friendly urban...

A boy in eastern China dropped out of school after earning 10,000 yuan (US$1,400) in just 10 days, a decision influenced by his mother, who initially encouraged him to sell snacks to instil an understanding of hard work and its inherent challenges. In an interview with the Post, the mother, surnamed Deng, said she concocted the plan when her 17-year-old boy’s grades at a culinary arts and vocation school began to slip.

Deng, who had been selling fried chicken at a street stall in Jiaxing, Zhejiang...
