As we welcome the Year of the Tiger, the new year is not about roaring celebration. It instead calls for more conservation actions.
Among the 13 tiger range countries in the world, Bhutan, which is best known for its conservation policies, is launching postal stamps of tigers as a sign of commitment to the global effort in saving tigers from becoming extinct.
Denominations of Nu 30 and Nu 50 stamps will be launched on February 13, at the clock tower square, along with the unveiling of a tiger mount. The mount, said nature conservation division (NCD) officials, is a reproduction of an old tiger that was rescued from Haa in 2005.
The postal stamps with "Save the Tigers" slogan is a good way of advertising, said the chief forest officer of NCD, Dr Sonam Wangyel Wang. "People use on mail, which go through various offices, countries and reach every part of the country and globe," he said.
