As I start this blog I wanted to try to feature a stamp from every different category. So, today's stamp is a Semipostal stamp. Semipostal Stamps are a type of stamp that raises money for a particular case, often a charity. The stamp is sold at a higher rate than normal stamps of that class. The surcharge is then donated to that cause.
Since 2011, this stamps has generated more than $6.5 million in funding for international conservation projects.
