International Plant Protection Year

On the new stamp the artist has depicted the plant kingdom in a stylised way, symbolising the essential role of plant health in the existence of humankind and nature.

The UN declared 2020 the International Year of Plant Health to raise the awareness of the public and policymakers of the importance of healthy plants and the need to protect them in order to achieve the goals of sustainable development – reducing hunger and poverty, protecting the environment and boosting national economic development.
