Description
This stamp illustrates the Eagle-Owl Ascalaphe, a nocturnal bird of prey emblematic of the arid and semi-desert areas of southern Tunisia. Its stoic posture on a rock symbolizes the wisdom, vigilance and remarkable adaptation of Tunisian fauna to the harsh climatic conditions of the Sahara. By highlighting this guardian of the night, the postal broadcast highlights the biological diversity of pre-Saharan regions and the importance of preserving the natural habitat of wild species which make up the landscape and natural identity of the territory.
