Climate change is faster and more severe in the Arctic than in most of the rest of the world. The Arctic is warming at a rate of almost twice the global average. So, the stamps introduced by Finland Post underlines the fact that global warming threatens animals in the north. For example, the arctic fox has become threatened, in particular, because the fox has spread to northern mountains.
Global warming is a possible reason for this. The latest confirmed finding of a litter in Finland dates back to 1996. Salmon are threatened by overfishing and the warming of waters as salmon eggs and young salmon do not survive in warm temperatures.
- “It is great that we can raise awareness of endangered species in cooperation with Posti”, - says Anne Brax, Communications Director at WWF Finland.
