Postal stamps to benefit wildlife conservation

Posted on Sep 24 2011

By Press Release

The U.S. Postal Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have released a “Save Vanishing Species” semipostal stamp. Proceeds of the semipostal stamp will directly benefit the Wildlife Without Borders Multinational Species Conservation Funds, and help conserve a number of endangered keystone wildlife species, including African and Asian elephants, rhinoceros, tigers, great apes, and marine turtles.

The “Save the Vanishing Species” stamp was made possible through the passage of H.R. 1454, the MSCF Semipostal Stamp Act of 2010, of which Guam Delegate Madeleine Z. Bordallo was a lead co-sponsor. As chairwoman of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife during the 111th Congress, Bordallo was instrumental in the passage of H.R. 1454.

“The “Save Vanishing Species” semipostal stamp will help promote the conservation of vulnerable endangered species and prevent their future decline in population,” said Bordallo.
