WWF Chinese Egrets

1993 Singapore Complete Mint Set of 4

The Chinese Egret is typically found on small islands throughout Southeast Asia. It uses its long legs to run after prey such as crabs, fish and shrimp in tidal waters. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is the largest international conservation organization aiding more than 100 countries in wilderness and animal preservation. The endangered animals featured on each nation's WWF postage stamps are native to that country and provide awareness to help support their conservation efforts. (#670-73)
