This stamp is dedicated to the Houbara Bustard, an emblematic bird of the steppe and desert areas of southern Tunisia. The illustration, showing the adult accompanied by a chick and eggs, underlines the importance of Saharan biodiversity and the fragility of the reproductive cycle of this protected species. Through this broadcast, Tunisia recalls its role in the conservation of Mediterranean and African wildlife, establishing the bustard as a symbol of a preserved environment and a national natural heritage that it is imperative to bequeath to future generations.
