Stamps-U.A.E. GAZELLES ( 2006 )
د.إ142.50
MANY OF THE SPECIES THAT WERE ONCE RELATIVELY COMMON IN THE UAE ARE NOW CONSIDERED TO BE ENDANGERED OR THREATENED DUE TO HABITAT DEGRADATION AND DESTRUCTION CAUSED OVER-GRAZING AND LOSS OF VEGETATION COVER.
IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT THERE WERE ONCE GAZELLES LIVING IN THE UAE. TODAY, ONLY CAPTIVE POPULATIONS EXIST IN VARIOUS INSTITUTIONS, ZOOS AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS, BUT THE TOTAL CAPTIVE POPULATION STATUS IS UNKNOWN.
TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES, EMIRATES POST, FOR THE FIRST TIME, HAS ISSUED SOUVENIR SHEETS WITH SERIAL NUMBERS, IN ADDITION TO A SET OF SPECIAL STAMPS IN FOUR DENOMINATIONS, IN COORDINATION WITH THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY, ABU DHABI.
