Description
This stamp illustrates the Wolf, an emblematic but rare figure of the mountainous and forest areas of northern Tunisia. The illustration represents the animal in an observation posture, with bare trees in the background suggesting a wintery or arid environment. The wolf occupies an ambivalent place in local culture, between fear and respect for its intelligence. This program is part of a desire to document national biodiversity. It raises awareness of the protection of large predators, whose populations have been greatly reduced by human activity, recalling the crucial role of these species in the balance of the wild ecosystems of the Regency.
