Brazil issued on October 3, 2011 a set of four stamps
called “Brazilian trees – natural treasures” encouraging the awareness and
preservation of this natural heritage. As a common feature, all four stamps
have the same tree-trunk, but each in a different stage of growth, with the
word preservation written several times underneath the trunk, depicting a
grassy soil. The trunk is formed by the repetition of the word VIDA (Life),
highlighting its function in developing and sustaining vegetation species. The
adult tree stamp depicts on its canopy the names of various Brazilian species of
trees, such as Cabreúva (Owl Tree), Mogno (Mahogany), Jatobá (Hymenaea
courbaril), Cedro (Cedar), Imbuia (Phoebe porosa), Andiroba (Carapa guianensis)…
With the exception of the adult tree stamp, the other three stamps bring various
texts stressing the importance of preserving trees.
