Abstract

Romania is a blessed place with many areas of unique beauty, with a special richness in species of fauna and flora - as part of the natural heritage, and places where the spectacle of nature delights your eyes and take your breath with every step. Constantly promoting philatelic themes that use natural wealth and the beauty of our country as subjects, the administrative entity (with various names over time) responsible for issuing postage stamps performs a series of postage stamps in whose images are found rarities of flora and fauna, a miracle of nature. To show that protected natural areas have a special beauty, and to make them known to everyone, in this paper, we bring to the discussion the most significant philatelic peculiarities in the Domogled - Cerna Valley Natural Park. In this context, a series of the most diverse pieces and philatelic effects are brought into the discussion (stamps, envelopes, first-day covers, postcards, illustrated postcards, maximum postcards), to outline the whole set of geological, pedological and ecological features in the considered area.
