Dear Collectors,<br />

This edition of the Facination marks the 20 th anniversary of our highly popular<br />

Endangered Species series. To celebrate the occasion, we asked the renowned Scientific<br />

Illustrator Diana Marques of Portugal to provide stunning images for our anniversary<br />

celebration. Her illustrations make you feel as though you can reach out and touch the<br />

animals.<br />

LETTER FROM THE CHIEF<br />

We also added three of the most popular <strong>endangered</strong> animals featured over the past<br />

two decades. A giant panda, a regal Siberian tiger and a beautiful snow leopard are<br />

highlighted each on one of our three sheets. It’s great to have them back on UNPA stamps<br />

again.<br />

I hope you enjoy the splendour of these magnificent creatures. I also ask that you keep<br />

in mind the reason why we include them in our programme of issues. It’s important<br />

to recognize the preservation of all <strong>species</strong> so that future generations can continue to<br />

experience their beauty and presence as invaluable and irreplaceable resources.<br />

I’ll be anxious to hear what you think of this year’s edition of the Endangered Species<br />

series, as well as our April Autism Awareness stamps. We are so pleased to highlight the<br />

talents of artists with Autism from around the world. I hope you find their images and<br />

personal stories as inspirational as we did.<br />

Thanks as always for your loyalty to our programme.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

David E. Failor<br />

Chief<br />
