The blue, black, and white flag was consecrated in 1884 in Otepaa. The colors: blue for the sky, black for the soil, white for purity and hope. Every Estonian home with a flagpole raises the flag. The flag has been banned, burned, and hidden. It has always come back. The flag is not just cloth. The flag is a sentence that was never finished: we are.
You encounter the Hispaniolan solenodon, Ricord's ground iguana, and endemic Hispaniolan parrots found nowhere else on Earth. You see that Haitian families typically keep chickens, goats, and dogs as their most common domestic companions. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
