Animals' Lawsuit Against Humanity
Long before glaciers were melting and temperatures were rising, a 9th century Muslim think tank Ikhwan Al Safa in Basra, Iraq wrote this tale about the animals of the world bringing humankind to trial over their reckless attitude towards nature and the earth. By Alia Alzougbi.
Peony Garden on Nanshan Mountain
