This stamp highlights the Ichkeul National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through the greylag goose. This migratory species symbolizes the vital role of Tunisian wetlands as wintering and stopping places for millions of birds between Europe and Africa. The illustration highlights the ornithological wealth of northern Tunisia and recalls the need to protect lakes and marshes, ecological lungs essential to avian migration and the preservation of the country's fresh water resources.
