由《苏格兰人报》（The Scotsman）发起的一项制止人类捕杀野生鸟类的犯罪活动，近日得到了英国皇家邮政（The Royal Mail）的支持。英国皇家邮政将发行10张纪念邮票，包括苏格兰地区10种稀少的野生鸟类，以及一系列数字来反映近年来物种数量的减少。

A CAMPAIGN by The Scotsman to help catch people who are killing the country's birds of prey has received the backing of the Royal Mail.

Ten stamps will be issued tomorrow featuring Scotland's rare and magnificent birds together with population figures showing how they were driven to extinction in Scotland but have since recovered. The Royal Mail said creatures such as the white-tailed eagle and peregrine falcon have been slowly reintroduced to Scotland and it was vital to stop wildlife crime.

Mike Gilson, editor of The Scotsman, said: "We are delighted the Royal Mail has picked up on this issue. Anything that increases awareness has to be a good thing."
