Description
This stamp highlights the richness of Saharan biodiversity through the figure of the dune gazelle (Gazella leptoceros), locally called “Rym”. A symbol of grace, speed and endurance in poetry and the Tunisian collective imagination, this animal embodies the fragility and wild beauty of the desert ecosystems of the Grand Erg Oriental. The illustration, showing the gazelle in its natural habitat of dunes dotted with rare vegetation, underlines Tunisia's commitment to the protection of endangered species and the valorization of its Saharan natural heritage, which constitutes an essential component of the country's territorial identity.
