World Day for Biological Diversity: The Brown Hare Lepus capensis
Designed by Ahmed Fekih, this stamp illustrates the Brown Hare next to a wild olive tree. The animal is represented on the lookout, ears erect, against a background of steep hills.
Very common in the Mediterranean scrub of Boukornine, the hare embodies the vitality of the protected small game. The stamp highlights the harmony between the typical fauna and flora (olive trees and Aleppo pines) which make up the forest landscape of the park.
