Description
This stamp represents the Barbary Elk (Cervus elaphus barbarus), the only representative of the deer family in North Africa, living mainly in the cork oak forests of Kroumirie. The majestic image of the deer wearing its antlers highlights a species that has benefited from rigorous reintroduction and protection programs in national parks like El Feidja. This subject is a strong symbol of nature conservation in Tunisia, illustrating national pride in possessing a unique zoological heritage and the responsibility to safeguard the endangered species of the Tunisian forest region.
