National Zoo Announces Conservation Stamps

WASHINGTON (AP) ― The National Zoo has launched a series of conservation postal stamps.

The stamps feature seven animals: the giant panda, clouded leopard Asian elephant, Panamanian golden frog, Kirtland's warbler, Scimitar-horned oryx and western lowland gorilla.

The stamps can be bought online at the Zoo's Web site, nationalzoo.si.edu, and in the Zoo's gift shops.

To celebrate the stamp series, the Friends of the National Zoo will hold a Conservation Stamp Day on Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the zoo. The event will include talks at the giant panda habitat, the great ape house, Asia trail, and Amazonia.
