New set of Manx stamps showcase the diversity of wildlife on Isle of Man

Isle of Man Post Office (Manx: Oik Postagh Ellan Vannin) have presented a new issue of ten stamps to show the diversity of wildlife to be found on the Isle of Man (Manx: Mannin). The Island, which is located in the Irish Sea, was cut off from the surrounding islands of the Atlantic Archipelago, a group of islands off the north-western coast of continental Europe, in around 8000 BC.  The Island has a richly-varied landscape in a small area with a unique composition of wildlife, making the need for its protection very important. Numerous areas are managed for wildlife on the Island, plus over ten percent of Manx territorial waters are marine nature reserves. The images on the stamps are the work of Manx photographer Brian Liggins. The Issue Date: 12th February 2019.
