EUROPA 2021 - ENDANGERED NATIONAL WILDLIFE  

Europa stamps are among the most collected stamps in the world. This year, PostEurop has chosen to highlight “endangered national wildlife”. The stamp represents the long-snouted seahorse, Hippocampus guttulatus, recognizable by the shape of its elongated snout and its body covered with filaments. Seahorses are mainly threatened by habitat loss and degradation caused by coastal development and destructive fishing gear.
