Stamps on Charles Darwin.....

India - 18 May 1983

Hi ! This year, the 200th Birth Anniversary of greatest naturalist of all time, Charles Darwin is being celebrated. The new postage stamps have been brought out by various postal administrations to celebrate his Bicentenary. I have written about them in my previous posts. Here are stamps which were issued in past to commemorate Charles Darwin. The first stamp shown above was issued by India to commemorate his Death Centenary and the other one shown below issued by Great Britain on Darwin's Theory depicting fossil related with his theory. I have come across one more issue by Cayman Island on Biodiversity which is not on Charles darwin but its name 'Darwin's Initiative" is associated with Darwin. Well, I am pleased to collect information on stamps issued on with Charles Darwin or the stamps, somehow associated with the name of Charles Darwin. The name Charles Darwin is very familiar to those who have studied biology or are associated with Science. As I get information I would share with you. This is all for this Morning ....Till Next Post....Have a Nice Time !

GB - Darwin's Theory

Biodiversity issue associated with Darwin's name

The Cayman Islands Postal Service issued a set of stamps featuring the Cayman Islands’ biodiversity. Titled, ‘Darwin Initiative’on 9 July, 2008.This issue is a collaboration between the Postal Service and the Department of Environment and it introduces some of Cayman’s indigenous creatures. The Darwin Initiative is funded and administered by the United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. It provides small financial grants to promote the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of resources around the world.A distinguishing feature of this stamp issue is the inclusion of habitats. While they are not on the stamps themselves, they comprise an important part of the issue since habitats are essential for the species to survive.
