Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris)

The illustration shows the Marbled Teal (Marmaronetta angustirostris), an elegant duck with white-speckled plumage, typical of the lagoons and shallow marshes of Tunisia. This stamp highlights the vulnerability of this species to habitat loss, recalling the crucial role of the network of Tunisian protected areas in the conservation of steppe and aquatic species. It is an invitation to promote the Saharan and Mediterranean ecological heritage, where water scarcity conditions the survival of a unique and fragile biodiversity.
