Indri (Indri indri) - Madagascar
Issued in 1976 as part of the Endangered Animals series, this stamp commemorates the Indri (Indri indri), the largest living lemur species, found only in the forests of Madagascar. The design depicts the animal perched on a tree branch within its tropical forest habitat. Renowned for its distinctive calls and remarkable agility in moving through the forest canopy, the Indri is one of Madagascar's most iconic wildlife species. Its survival has been threatened by habitat destruction and the reduction of Madagascar's native forests.

The issue celebrated the unique biodiversity of the Indian Ocean region and emphasized the need for wildlife conservation efforts to preserve rare species and their habitats for future generations.
