Description
This stamp highlights the White-headed Duck (Oxyura leucocephala), a rare and emblematic diving duck of Mediterranean wetlands. The illustration presents the sexual dimorphism of the species, with the male with the characteristic bright blue beak, highlighting the ecological importance of Tunisian sites such as Lake Ichkeul for the nesting of this globally threatened species. Through this broadcast, Tunisia reaffirms its commitment to the preservation of aquatic biodiversity and the protection of fragile ecosystems which serve as vital refuges for migratory and sedentary wildlife.
