Regional/Cultural Day

Genghis Khaanii Odor

The birthday of Temujin, who would become Genghis Khan, is observed as a day of national pride and historical reflection. Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire in 1206, and it became the largest contiguous empire in history, stretching from Korea to Hungary. The day is marked by ceremonies at the Genghis Khan monument in Ulaanbaatar (a 40-meter stainless steel statue on horseback), academic conferences on Mongol history, and the retelling of the Secret History of the Mongols (the oldest surviving Mongolian-language literary work). The day is not without controversy, because Genghis Khan's conquests killed millions, but in Mongolia he is revered as the father of the nation.

Animals of Estonia Day

You see the European brown bear and the grey wolf as iconic wildlife that roams Estonia's forests. You find that Estonians most commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
