Endangered Species 2024
On 26 April 2024, the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) continues its Endangered Species stamp series with the issuance of 12 stamps.
The 2024 United Nations Endangered Species stamp series brings together a diverse array of fauna and flora, including species at the centre of the decisions adopted by the Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and discussions within the past year relating to sustainable wildlife conservation, management, and trade of these species.
As the core objective of the Convention is to ensure that international trade in wild animals and plants is legal, sustainable, and traceable, CITES works to uphold and maintain the survival in the wild of species listed in its appendices.
For 30 years, UNPA has issued stamps in support of CITES to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people.
