his cover came from South Africa and depicts a complete set issued in 2011 celebrating the World Heritage Site Cape Floral Region Protected Areas. The site is inscribed at UNESCO's since 2004 and comprises a series of national parks and protected areas that are home to the plants of one of the six floral kingdoms of the world. The area is remarkably rich in biodiversity: although it covers less than 0.5% of Africa, it is home to 20% of plan species of the continent. The fynbos vegetation of fine-leaved shrubland is adapted to a Mediterranean climate of the region and to occasional fires. Many plants rely on pollination and seed dispersal by insects, birds, and mammals. Several plant species are of conservation concern.

This cover from UNO Vienna depicts 3 stamps, including the stamp on the right corner representing the Mount Cook, New Zealand. The Mount Cook is part of the world heritage site Te Wahipounamu - South West New Zealand. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1990 and covering 26,000 square kilometres (10,000 sq mi), the site incorporates four national parks: Aoraki / Mount Cook, Fiordland, Mount Aspiring and Westland Tai Poutini. It is thought to contain some of the best modern representations of the original flora and fauna of Gondwana, one of the reasons for its listing as a World Heritage site.
