    Hi, I made a file with various SVG's and saved it as an SVG.

    When I try to open it I get this error:-Β 

    error on line 4 at column 37: xmlns:i: Β  '&ns_ai;" Β is not a valid URI

    What does this mean and how can I retrieve my artwork?

    From what I read your SVG has its origin at Illustrator. You can try to open the SVG in a Text-editior go to line 4, column 37 and delete that section - save under different file name and try to open again. To be honest I donΒ΄t have good hope that it will work but lead to just a next error. Do you still have access to AI?

    Ai svgs are known to behave badly in Inkscape.

    I would remove the conditional grouping on the orangutan and tiger (ungroup once on each), then copy and paste everything into a new Inkscsape document.
