2025Native Frogs Miniature Sheet First Day Cover - First Day Cover MS

Aotearoa New Zealand’s native Leiopelma frogs diverged from all other frogs over 200 million years ago, making them the most ancient group of frogs on the planet. Before humans settled here, there were six Leiopelma frog species distributed throughout the North and South Islands. These special amphibians have been severely impacted by habitat loss and introduced predators, and three have already become extinct. With illustrations by Sarah Greig, the four stamps in this issue highlight the Leiopelma genus.
