Description
This stamp is dedicated to the Cabbage Pigeon (Pieris brassicae), one of the most familiar butterflies of gardens and agricultural areas of Tunisia. Although common, this species is magnified here to illustrate the proximity between man and nature on a daily basis. Through this representation, the message focuses on the recognition of living things in the immediate environment and the importance of sustainable agriculture which respects biological cycles. It is a tribute to the wild life that inhabits the Tunisian countryside and an affirmation of the country's ecological identity.
