USA: Everglades

Today I got two postcards: one from the USA and one from New Zealand.

The card from the USA shows the Everglades National Park. The Everglades are located in Florida and are famous for the large number of animals living there. The Everglades is since 1979 a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but since 2010 it is on the Red List because of a loss of marine habitat and decline in marine species.


Stamps:
Simpsons (from set of five) (issued 07-05-2009)
The stamps show Bart and Lisa.
Did you know? The Simpsons also visited the Everglades. There Homer killed a famous alligator and had to go to jail with his family.
Everglades (from set of ten) (issued 04-10-2006)
The stamp shows American White Ibises and a Florida Panther.
Wedding Cake (issued 18-01-2013)


Thank You very much Fiona!
