International Year of Soils: Healthy soils for healthy lives

This stamp marks the celebration of the "International Year of Soils" proclaimed by the United Nations in 2015. The illustration shows a hand emerging from different geological strata to carry a young green shoot, symbolizing the vital link between the fertility of the earth and the survival of humanity. In a Tunisian context where the fight against desertification is a major issue, the message focuses on the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of the environment, emphasizing that the land is a fragile nourishing heritage that must be protected to guarantee food security.
