Less than 20% of Earth’s species are described, many known to Indigenous communities, and some are listed as threatened the moment they’re found, underscoring urgent conservation needs.

In February 1975, the film “Harry and Tonto” premiered in Amsterdam. The movie, centred around an elderly man and his ginger cat, offered a unique incentive – anyone bringing their cat, preferably a ginger one, received a complimentary ticket. Hundreds of attendees accompanied by their cat.
