€1.50 SPAIN 2022 - Animals in danger of extinction (COMPLETE)
Climate change and its effects, as well as the loss of biodiversity, are accelerating the disappearance or reduction of the population of certain living beings. Around one million animal and plant species are now in danger of extinction, warns the United Nations, and proposes raising awareness among the population of the importance of implementing actions that urgently prevent this list of endangered species from continuing to grow.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the most complete source of information on the global conservation status of animal, fungal and plant species. Assessing the risk of extinction of thousands of species is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze biodiversity conservation actions. This is not only important for the species themselves, but wildlife conservation also has positive effects on human life.
For this reason, the FNMT-RCM issues a collection of 16 color coins dedicated to endangered animals included in the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), through series of coins with a selection of animals that for one reason or another are relevant worldwide because they are classified as Critically Endangered (CR) animals.
The collection is presented in an album - case that includes the sixteen coins and brochures with information about each of the animals reproduced in the pieces, in Spanish and English.
Includes 16 coins with a face value of 1.50 euros each coin
