Brief Description:
A
brief description of the
Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Ecology, in
particular
the one that takes care of Wetlands,
and also International
Conventions,
as this Series was released to promote the 12th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting
Parties to the Ramsar
Convention on Wetlands (COP12) that was held at the Conrad Resort, in Punta del Este, a
city and resort on the Atlantic
Coast in the Maldonado
Department of southeastern Uruguay, from 1 to 9 June 2015.
Ramsar is
the oldest of the modern
global intergovernmental environmental agreements. The treaty was negotiated through
the 1960s by countries and non-governmental organizations
concerned about the increasing loss and degradation of wetland habitat
for migratory waterbirds. It
was adopted in the Iranian city of Ramsar in 1971 and came into force in 1975.
Then, looking at the desing of the Issue, many topics arises, most of
them could be put inside the great category of Animals or Fauna, with a slight
focus on Birds,
as six of the Species
selected for the Stamps in this Release, are in this particular Family of Animals, however the
Spectre inside this family is wide going from two different small Blackbirds as Scarlet-headed Blackbird,
Amblyramphus Holosericeus
and Saffron-Cowled
Blackbird, Xanthopsar
Flavus, to bigger birds like: Black Skimmer, Rynchops Niger Intercedens;
Chilean Flamingo,
Phoenicopterus Chilensis;
Snowy Egret,
Egretta Thula;
and Plumbeous Ibis,
Theristicus Caerulescens.
Then, Mammals,
and in particular Roedents
are represented by the Biggest
Roedent of the World, the Capybara, Hydrochoerus Hydrochaeris.
Also Crustaceans,
in partcular Crabs
are present too with the inclusion of Neohelice Crab, Neohelice Granulatus.
And finally, Reptiles
mades it appeareance through Snakes
and Toads
Individuals, as are the Brazilian
Green Racer Snake, Philodryas
Aestivus and Montevideo
Red-Belly Toad, Melanophryniscus
Montevidensis respectively.
All these Animals
are beautifully presented in a typical view of a Wetland, including
all it characteristic Flora,
like Reeds,
Water Lilies,
and other Plants
and Trees
that are common in this kind of Geography.
Finally, just a few words regarding the Logotypes that
appears in this Release. In all items, the Block, the First Day
Cancellation and the Folder, the Logo
of the Ramsar Convention in Punta del Este is included,
showing in a stylized form: The Sun,
The Water,
and also a Capybara,
a large Bird
probably a Snowy Egret,
and Reeds.
All these items accompanied by the Motto
of the Convention that is "Humedales para nuestro futuro",
that means "Wetlands for
our future". Then, also the Logotypes of "Uruguay Natural", a
Brand that
promotes Uruguay
as Environment Friendly
Country, and the one of MVOTMA, that stands
for "Ministerio de
Vivienda, Ordenamiento Territorial, y Medio Ambiente",
that is the Uruguayan
Ministry that has Ecology
as one of its responsabilities, appears both in the Block and in the
Folder of the Release.
