El Savador Postcard Features Endangered Species

This postcard from the El Savador pictures an Ocelot.  In the mid-20th century, hundreds of thousands of these animlas were killed to make fur coats.  The hunting of this animal has been banned in many South American countries and the US.  

The El Salvador stamp on this postcard also pictures an Ocelot and is tied to the postcard with a First Day of Issue postmark featuring the World Wildlife Fund logo.  This postcard will make a neat addition to your foreign or animal collection - order yours today.
