Royal Mail has issued a new set of stamps highlighting the UK mammal population's struggle for survival. Wildcats, Whales and Water Voles all feature on this new stamp collection.

The set of ten 1st Class Mammals stamps are part of a series of Action for Species stamps to celebrate the International Year of Biodiversity in 2010.

Dr Robert Bloomfield, co-ordinator for the 2010 International Year of Biodiversity in the UK, said: "These stamps illustrate that even some of the most loved UK species, which we consider common or familiar, are under threat. We can all make a difference in our day to day lives to change things for the better for plants and animals. IYB-UK encourages people to learn about our native plants and species, to appreciate them, and to do practical things to prevent their loss."
