 Unasylva - No. 168 - Arid zone forestry - Forestry stamps
The first stamps to take this approach must be considered forerunners of their time the 1903 Madagascar edition, picturing "the traveller's tree" (Ravenala madagascariensis), sheltering a zebu (Bos indicus); and the series of 13 stamps issued by Australia in 1937, showing a koala bear (Phascolarctus genus) clinging tightly to the branches of a eucalyptus.
Of course, given the number of factors affecting the index (the total number of postage stamps issued over time, the total volume of postage stamps issued per year, the importance of postage stamps as a revenue-generating mechanism for the issuing country, etc), it must not be viewed as being statistically significant.
To maximize the positive impact of forestry postage stamps on popular awareness and concern, the effort of governments in producing these stamps must be matched by that of collectors in sharing their "treasures" with a wider public.
