Book Review:
''Stamps on Flora and Fauna of Sri Lanka'' by D.C. Ranatunga is a concise and specialized guide that beautifully intersects philately with natural history. Released to commemorate Sri Lanka's philatelic heritage, this book catalogs and describes the rich variety of stamps issued by the country that feature its unique and endemic plant and animal life. From majestic mammals and colorful birds to exquisite orchids and towering trees, this guide serves as a window into how a nation's biodiversity is celebrated on its postage. While compact, it is an invaluable resource for stamp collectors (philatelists) with a thematic interest in nature, as well as for anyone curious about Sri Lanka's environmental heritage. It's more than just a stamp catalog; it's a tribute to the island's natural wonders, captured in miniature art. A perfect addition to the library of collectors, nature lovers, and those interested in Sri Lankan culture.
