Czech 'International Year of Planet Earth' stamp


Czech 'International Year of Planet Earth' stamp

The United Nations has designated 2008 as the International Year of Planet Earth and the Czech Republic has issued a stamp in its honor.

The Year's activities will span the three years 2007-2009.

The Year aims to raise $20 million from industry and governments and will spend half on co-funding research, and half on "outreach" activities. It will be the biggest ever international effort to promote the Earth sciences.
