The first yams of the harvest are presented to the community elders before anyone else touches them. In Fon tradition, yams carry spiritual weight, and cutting into the first tuber without ceremony would be disrespectful beyond words.

You spot the Korean musk deer, Asiatic black bears, and crested ibis that represent South Korea's native wildlife in protected mountain regions. You frequently encounter pet dogs, cats, and small ornamental fish as the most popular pets in South Korean households. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
