Biological diversity is diminishing significantly in almost every part of the world due to the effect of human activity, but this process can still be halted. The WWF, which operates in over 100 countries, has been pursuing this goal since 1961. Its mission is to create a future where humanity and nature live in harmony with one another by conserving biological diversity, reducing environmental pollution, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources in the long term and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. Magyar Posta is supporting this goal by presenting four species whose habitats and populations are under constant threat.

Endangered Species in Finland I - 2016

Endangered animals sheet in collaboration with WWF

Petteri Mattila has designed a new stamp sheet of 30 stamps featuring three endangered animal species found in Finnish nature: the Saimaa ringed seal, the pygmy damselfly and the lesser white-fronted goose.
The 1st class stamps will be released in cooperation with WWF Finland. The reverse sides of the stamps contain information on the species and their protection and the protection work done by WWF.
The critically endangered species featured on the stamps face many threats, including climate change and other changes to their habitats. However, the ringed seal population has actually increased thanks to conservation work: the species, which had been hunted to the brink of extinction, has been protected since 1955, and WWF began its conservation work in 1979.
The Saimaa ringed seal population is currently estimated at 320.
