This stamp highlights the Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani), the ultimate national symbol of Lebanese identity, resilience, and natural heritage. The illustration features a majestic, ancient cedar tree standing against the backdrop of the rugged Mount Lebanon range, symbolizing the longevity of the Lebanese people and their deep-rooted connection to the land. As a sacred and historic resource once used by ancient civilizations for shipbuilding and temple construction, the cedar represents the nation’s enduring strength and is a primary emblem featured on the national flag. This program celebrates the unique biodiversity of Lebanon and its institutional commitment to preserving a natural treasure that defines the spirit of the country.
