New Special Cover : Indian Insect Diversity



Celebrating Indian Insect Diversity 







India is one of earth's biologically wealthiest nations with insects contributing in a big measure to its status as one of the world's 17 mega-biodiversity countries. Measuring biodiversity and designating conservation areas is impossible without the science of taxonomy. Professor C. A. Viraktamath, an insect taxonomist par excellence, has contributed immensely to promoting taxonomy. This Postal special cover is released on the occasion of the seminar, 'Celebrating Indian Insect Diversity' on January 31, 2019, the 75th birthday of Professor C. A. Viraktamath.
