Endemics of Anguilla on Stamps

The Anguilla Philatelic Bureau in conjunction with the Anguilla Stamp Advisory Committee (ASAC) is issuing a series of postage stamps featuring three of the island's endemic species.

These are: Anguilla Bush (Rondeletia anguillenis), Little Scrub Island Ground Lizard (Amevia corax) and the Sombrero Island Ground Lizard (Ameiva corvina).

The introduction of this stamp issue is intended to create a greater awareness of the need to conserve and protect all creatures, great and small.
