Description
This naturalist stamp is dedicated to the Bonelli's Eagle, one of the rarest and most majestic birds of prey in Tunisia. Yosr Jamoussi's image shows the bird at rest and in flight, highlighting its white plumage spotted with brown.
A predator at the top of the food chain, this eagle nests in the inaccessible cliffs of the massif. Its presence is an indicator of the good ecological health of the park. It represents the power and freedom associated with the mountainous terrain of the country.
