Stamp Collecting Month endeavours to interest children in the hobby of stamp collecting and occurs in October each year. Australia Post staff members engage with primary school children and teachers, explaining the background to stamps and stamp collecting through a specially selected theme. This year's theme is Australian Zoos.

Melbourne Zoo marks its 150th anniversary this year and was Australia's fi rst zoo. Established at Royal Park in 1862, the zoo is now involved in numerous international endangered species breeding programs and conservation campaigns, including a captive breeding program for the Sumatran Tiger.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo was Australia's fi rst open range zoo opening at Dubbo in 1977. The zoo plays an important role in education and conservation of wildlife such as the Black Rhino, native to eastern and central regions of Africa. 

Since 1916, Taronga Zoo has been renowned for its care and presentation of wildlife. Visitors to the zoo are able to discover and learn about over 3,500 animals, including Giraffes. These amazing animals are found throughout Africa, south of the Sahara Desert.

Adelaide Zoo was established in 1883, and is home to over 300 species of exotic and native mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fi sh and invertebrates, including the only Giant Pandas in the Southern Hemisphere - Wang Wang and Funi. Today only around 1,600 Giant Pandas live in the wild in south-western China.

Perth Zoo was established in 1898 and is a favourite West Australian icon. The zoo has a specialist expertise in breedfor-release programs for threatened species and is a world leader in breeding Sumatran Orangutans - one of our most endangered primates. 

Australia Zoo is located on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. It is the largest privately owned zoological facility in Australia, and is best known for its "Conservation through Exciting Education" pioneered by owner Steve Irwin ("The Crocodile Hunter") and his wife Terri. Today Australia Zoo directly contributes to many conservation projects within Australia and overseas.

Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria opened in 1934, and is dedicated to the conservation of native fauna including the Platypus, Tasmanian Devil and Leadbeater's Possum. The sanctuary's oldest animal, as well as one of its most popular, is Jess the Wedge-tailed Eagle.

2010-Year Of Tiger FDC from BANGLADESH

In the south western part of Bangladesh, in the district of greater Khulna, lies the Sundarbans, "the beautiful forest." It is a virgin forest which until recently owed nothing to human endeavour and yet nature has laid it out with as much care as a planned pleasure ground. For miles and miles, the lofty treetops form an unbroken canopy, while nearer the ground, works of high and ebb-tide marked on the soil and tree trunks and the many varieties of the natural mangrove forest have much to offer to an inquisitive visitor.

Here land and water meet in many novel fashions. Wild life presents many a spectacle. No wonder, you may come across a Royal Bengal Tiger swimming across the streams or the crocodiles basking on the river banks. With the approach of the evening herds of deer make for the darking gladeswhere boisterous monkeys shower Keora leaves from above for sumptuous meal for the former. For the botanist, the lover of nature, the poet and the painter this land provides a variety of wonders for which they all crave. The Sundarbans is a cluster of islands with an approximate area of 3600 sq. km. forming the largest block of littoral forests. It's beauty lies in its unique natural surrounding. Thousands of meandering streams, creeks, rivers and estuaries have enhanced its charm. Sundarbans meaning beautiful forest is the natural habitat of the world famous Royal Bengal Tiger, spotted deer, crocodiles, jungle fowl, wild boar, lizards, rhesus monkey and an innumerable variety of beautiful birds. Migratory flock of siberian ducks flying over thousands of sail boats loaded with timber, gopatta (round-leaf), fuel wood, honey, shell and fish further add to the serene natural beauty of the Sundarbans.

Remark:Let us save the Tiger and Sundarbans(Mangrove Forest)

Year of the Tiger - Geng Yin Year FDC from CHINA

FDC Name:Year of the Tiger - Geng Yin Year
Issue Date:5th JAN'2010

Details:According to Chinese lunar calendar, 2010 is Geng-Yin Year, or the Year of the Tiger. Traditionally in China the tiger is crowned with the titles "King of All Beasts" and "Mountain Monarch", and the mysterious tiger totem represents people's worship for the animal in primitive society. The tiger is also a symbol of power and might, and its image was widely used as the design of military commander's tally in ancient times. In traditional Chinese culture, the tiger is often mentioned alongside the dragon to imply strength and prosperity. The Chinese people view the tiger as a holy animal, and use its image on various occasions to drive away evil spirits and bring peace. Today, the traditional custom of having children wear tiger-design hat and clothes still prevails in many places of the country. Symbolizing vigor and vitality, the tiger is expected to bring life and hope to a new year.
