UN 2021 COP 15 Biodiversity

UNPA issued a special event three-stamp mini-sheet on 11 October 2021, in the denominations of US$ 1.30, CHF 2,00 and € 1,80, to commemorate the United Nations Biodiversity Conference. The first part of the conference will be held online from 11 to 15 October 2021, while the second part will take place in-person from 25 April to 8 May 2022 in Kunming, China. The event was originally scheduled in 2020, but postponed in due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Biological diversity is about more than plants, animals, fungi, micro-organisms and their ecosystems – it is about people and our need for food security, medicines, fresh air and water, shelter – and a clean and healthy environment in which to live.

Despite ongoing efforts, biodiversity is deteriorating worldwide. The UN Biodiversity Conference will convene governments from around the world to agree a new set of goals for the preservation of nature over the next decade through the Convention on Biological Diversity. This post-2020 global biodiversity framework sets out an ambitious plan to implement action and transform our society’s relationship with biodiversity. to the ultimate goal is to ensure that, by 2050, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature becomes reality.

The stamp sheet incorporates vertebrates, invertebrates, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, plants and micro-organisms. It was designed by Sergio Baradat (United Nations).

A quantity of 48,000 sheets were printed by Cartor Security Printing (France). The stamp sheets are consecutively numbered.

Federation of Malaya

  Federation of Malaya

 

From 1946 to 1948, the eleven Malay states formed a single British crown colony known as the Malayan Union.  Due to opposition from Malay nationalists, the Union was disbanded and replaced by the Federation of Malaya, which restored the symbolic positions of the rulers of the Malay states.

Within the Federation, while the Malay states were protectorates of the United Kingdom, Penang and Malacca remained British colonial territories. Like the Malayan Union before it, the Federation did not include Singapore. 

The Federation of Malaya Agreement was signed on 21 January 1948 at King House by the Malay rulers, and by Sir Edward Gent as the representative of the British government. The Agreement superseded the Agreement creating the Malayan Union, and prepared for the establishment of the Federation of Malaya on 1 February 1948. 

The Federation became independent from British colonial rule and became an independent member of the Commonwealth of Nations on 31 August 1957.    

In 1963, the Federation was reconstituted as "Malaysia" when it federated with the British territories of Singapore, Sarawak, and North Borneo.  Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent republic on 9 August 1965.
