NORTH MACEDONIA

An amazing R-letter from North Macedonia, depicting 6 diffrent stamps, 4 of them celebrating the Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid region. Lake Ohrid is a lake which straddles the mountainous border between the southwestern part of North Macedonia and eastern Albania. It is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, with a unique aquatic ecosystem of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species. North Macedonia's side of Lake Ohrid was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, with the site being extended to also include the cultural and historic area of Ohrid in 1980. In 2014, the Ohrid-Prespa Transboundary Reserve between Albania and North Macedonia was added to UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Albania's side of Lake Ohrid was also designated UNESCO world heritage status in 2019.

NORTH MACEDONIA

My first cover from Macedonia (it means a new country in my collection), depicting a WWF complete set issued in 2011. This set celebrates the European ground squirrel (Smermophilus citellus), a member of the rodent order.
