This stamp highlights the Horseradish Pigeon, also called Esper's Dawn (Zegris eupheme), a species of butterfly whose presence in Tunisia testifies to the biological diversity of the country's steppe and semi-arid zones. The image captures the finesse of the white wings stained with orange, symbolizing the fragility and splendor of Tunisian nature. This program is part of an approach to raising awareness of environmental conservation, inviting citizens to take a close look at the small living treasures that populate the rural and wild landscapes of the Republic.
