美国发行的一款新邮票在短短一年内为保护全世界濒危野生动物筹集了150多万美元的资金。
新邮票以挽救濒危物种为主题, 票面上是一只阿穆尔虎(Amur tiger)，在野外生存的这类虎种现只剩400头。邮票的面值为55美分，高于普通邮票。每一枚邮票出售后有11美分捐给美国鱼类和野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service）的野生动物无国界-多国物种保护基金（Wildlife Without Borders–Multinational Species Conservation Funds）。这个项目可为国际保护项目提供捐款，用于保护老虎、大象、犀牛、大猩猩和海龟等。
自1989年以来，野生动物无国界项目已为国际野生动物保护工作提供了2,700多项捐款，总额达1亿多美元。

Postage Stamp Raises $1.5 Million to Save Wildlife
Americans pay a little extra in postage to help wildlife.
In just one year, a U.S. postage stamp has raised more than $1.5 million for programs to protect endangered wildlife around the world.
Americans snapped up the Save Vanishing Species stamp that featured an image of an Amur tiger, now numbering just 400 in the wild. More expensive than a normal postage stamp at 55 cents, each stamp sold generated 11 cents that went to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Wildlife Without Borders–Multinational Species Conservation Funds. This program provides grants for international conservation projects to protect animals such as tigers, elephants, rhinos, gorillas, chimpanzees and sea turtles.
Since 1989, Wildlife Without Borders has provided more than 2,700 grants for international wildlife conservation totaling more than $100 million.
