A day for the doors, mats, shoes, keys, steps, and greetings that mark the passage between the world and home.
A day celebrating the Nauruan language, which is spoken nowhere else on Earth. It is a language isolate : no confirmed relationship to any other language family. Every word in Nauruan is a tiny act of preservation, because if the 12,000 people who speak it stop, the language simply ceases to exist. There is no diaspora, no second homeland, no backup.
You marvel at the Ethiopian wolf, Hamadryas baboon, and Walia ibex that inhabit Ethiopia's unique highlands and rift valleys. You observe that Ethiopians typically keep goats, sheep, and donkeys for both companionship and labor purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
