Issued by France for use in Réunion Island, this 1967 commemorative stamp forms part of the Protection de la Nature environmental series. The design features a vividly illustrated chameleon native to Île de la Réunion, symbolizing biodiversity and ecological awareness in French overseas territories. Created during a period when wildlife conservation themes gained international postal prominence, the stamp highlights endemic fauna in its natural habitat. Its detailed engraving and natural color palette make it especially attractive to thematic collectors of reptiles, wildlife, and conservation issues. A desirable item for both French colonial and nature-themed philatelic collections.
