This set of three semi-postal stamps commemorates the 1970 European Nature Conservation Year. The designs feature stylized natural scenes: a tree emblem over a mountain landscape, a silhouetted tree against a sunset, and a bird of prey. Each stamp includes the Council of Europe's tree emblem, symbolizing the continent-wide conservation effort.
Issued as part of a Europe-wide initiative, these stamps raised awareness and funds for nature conservation. The surtax on each stamp was designated for environmental protection projects in Turkey.
