The WWF logo
The WWF (World-Wide Fund for Nature) Logo inspiration was Chi-Chi a giant Panda in the London Zoo in 1961, the same year the WWF was created. It was adopted as it was a strong, recognisable symbol that transcended all language barriers.
Wildlife Conservation Related Stamps issued by India Post at various points of time, featured on the Black Mug:
1) A 10 NP (Naye Paise) Stamp on the Gaur (Indian Bison) issued on 07.10.1963:
A 10 Naye Paise (- "New Paise" - NP) stamp depicting a Gaur (or Indian Bison) issued by India Post on 07.10.1963. Notice that during this time, the inscriptions on the stamp (except for the name of the issuing country "Bharat"/"India" - which is spelt in both Hindi and English) - are in English only viz. - "India Security Press", "Gaur" et al.
This stamp was part of a four stamp set issued on 07.10.1963 titled "Wildlife Series" which included stamps on the - Gaur, Himalayan Panda, Indian Elephant and the Tiger.
About the Gaur ("Bos gaurus") or the "Indian Bison":
The "Gaur" is the largest extant bovine. In Sanskrit the word "Gaur" means "white, yellowish and reddish" and the Sanskrit word "Gaur-mriga" means a "kind of Buffalo".
It is the largest species among the wild cattle, reaching up to a shoulder height of about 142.0 cm to 220.0 cm (or 4.0 Feet 08 inches to about 7.0 feet 3.0 inches), with a body length of 250.0 to 330.0 cm.
It is native to South and South-East Asia including Vietnam, Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Myanmar, India, Bangladesh, China and Nepal.
In Malaysia it is called "Seladang", in Myanmar it is known as "Pyaung".
In India, Gaur are found mostly in Wayanad, Nagarhole, Mudumalai, Bandipur, Tadoba Andhari Tiger Project, Periyar Tiger Reserve, Silent Valley and adjoining forest complexes and in Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary et al.
Gaur herds are led by an old adult female - the matriarch. In some regions in India, where human disturbance is minimal, the Gaur is very timid and shy, despite its great size and power. When alarmed, the Gaur can crash through the jungle at great speed. They frequently go into agricultural fields and graze alongside domestic cattle. They are herbivorous grazing on plants, flowers, fruits, herbs, leaves, bark of trees etc.
Their predators include leopards, tigers, dhole packs (Red Dog packs) and large mugger crocodiles etc.
Since 1986, it has been listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s Red List as "Vulnerable".
The Gaur's global population was estimated to be a maximum of 21,000 mature individuals in 2016.
During the last three generations, the Gaur has declined by more than 70% of its numbers and has become practically extinct in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
They are under threat by poaching for trade to supply in international markets and hunting for game or for food.
The Gaur is listed in CITES Appendix I and is legally protected in all the countries it occurs in. Cryo-conservation of animal genetic resources have been put in place, in order to help reinforce the Gaur population.

2) A 15 NP (Naye Paise) postage stamp depicting the Rhinoceros (Rhinocerotidae -Rhino in short):
A 15 Naye Paise Stamp issued on 01.10.1962 depicting the Rhinoceros (Rhino). Notice that on this stamp too, while the denomination of the Stamp "15 N.P." is spelt in both Hindi and English, the rest of the inscriptions are in English only viz - "INDIA POSTAGE", "RHINO" and "INDIA SECURITY PRESS". The Rhino was an endangered species with steps being taken by several government and Wildlife Conservation Groups to save the Rhino in its habitat
A Rhinoceros (from the Greek "Rhinokeros" - "Rhis" meaning "nose" and "keras" meaning "horn" - together standing for "nose-horned") is commonly abbreviated to "Rhino".
Two of the extant species are found in Africa, while three species are found in Southern Asia.
Rhinos are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all species reaching/exceeding one tonne in weight. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains, for mammals of their size, one or two horns and a thick protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although they have an ability to ferment food in their hind-gut which enables them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary.
Rhinoceros are hunted by humans for their horns which are made of keratin, which are sold in the clandestine/black market. Rhino horns are ground and consumed as the powder is believed to have therapeutic properties. Adult rhinos have no real predators other than humans. Young Rhinos can fall prey to big cats, crocodiles, African wild dogs and hyenas.
Both African species and the Sumatran Rhinos have two horns, while the Indian and Javan Rhinoceros have a single horn which is 20 to 60 centimetres long.
The Indian Rhino with its thick silver-brown skin folds into the shoulder , back and rump, gives it an armoured appearance. It upper legs and shoulders are covered in wart-like bumps and it has very little body hair. Grown males are larger than females in the wild weighing from 2,500-3,200 kg. (or 5,500-7,100 pounds). Their shoulder height is1.75 metres (or 5.7-6.6 feet).Females weigh about 1,900 Kg (or 4,200 Pounds) and are 3-4 metres (9.8-13 feet long).
Indian Rhinos once had their range from Pakistan, Nepal to Myanmar and parts of China. Due to human activity, they are now found in several protected areas of India - particularly in Assam, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh and Nepal. They are mainly confined to the tall grasslands and forests in the foothills of the Himalayas. About two-thirds of the world's Indian rhinoceroses are now confined to the Kaziranga National Park located in the Golaghat district of Assam, India.
Interestingly, from 1988 to 2002 the third series of 25 Paise coins issued by the Government of India depicted the Rhino as a part of the efforts/drive to bring the "Save/Conserve the Rhino Project" to familiarise users with the focus on keeping the Indian Rhino population growing in large numbers.

3) Teinopalpus imperialis (Kaiser-i-Hind):
A 200 Paise (or Rs.2/-) Stamp issued on 20.10.1981 depicting the Teinopalpus Imperialis Butterfly. The Butterfly numbers were decreasing due to it being hunted for its beauty and rarity
The Kaiser-i-Hind is a rare species of swallowtail butterfly found from Nepal, Bhutan, along the Eastern Himalayas in India - West Bengal, Meghalaya, Assam, Sikkim and Manipur, Northern Myanmar, North Vietnam and the Sichuan province of China.. The name "Kaiser-i-Hind" literally means "Emperor of India". Its habitat is mostly in high-altitude forest species, which occurs at medium and high elevations in the Himalayas from 6,000 to 10,000 feet (1,800 to 3,000 metres) in well-wooded terrain.
This butterfly is very swift and strong in flight.
It is a local and rare butterfly, protected by Indian and Nepalese law as it is hunted and collectors pay high prices to acquire it.
Both the species of Kaiser-i-Hind are listed in CITES Appendix II from 1987 onwards.
It is a butterfly known for its beauty and rarity. The green iridescence of the wings is chiefly due to a three-dimensional photonic structure of the scales.
4) Lion-Tailed Macaque:
A Rhinoceros (from the Greek "Rhinokeros" - "Rhis" meaning "nose" and "keras" meaning "horn" - together standing for "nose-horned") is commonly abbreviated to "Rhino".

4) Lion-Tailed Macaque:
A 200 Paise (or Rs.2/-) Stamp issued on 03.10.1983 depicting the Lion-Tailed Macaque which at one time was listed as among the "World's 25 Most Endangered Species" This stamp is part of a two stamp series titled "Indian Wildlife" which featured the Golden Langur and the Lion-Tailed Macaque
The Lion-Tailed Macaque (also known as the "Wanderoo" is an Old World monkey endemic to the Western Ghats of South India.
An IUCN assessment/estimate places the number of the Lion-tailed Macaque at around 3000 to 3500 which are mostly found in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka. Prominent among the protected areas in Kerala for this species are - The Silent Valley National Park, Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary, Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary, Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary, Periyar Tiger Reserve, Eravikulam National Park, Pambadum Shola National Park, Parambikulam Tiger Reserve, Annamalai Tiger Reserve, Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary, Chimmony Wildlife Sanctuary, Wyanad area etc.
The Lion-Tailed Macaque is among the rarest and most threatened primates.
Their range has become increasingly isolated and fragmented by the spread of agriculture, tea, coffee, teak and cinchona, construction of water reservoirs for irrigation and power generation and human settlements which support such activities.
Destruction of their habitat and their avoidance of human proximity have resulted in drastic decrease of their population.
At one time, the Lion-tailed Macaque was listed in the IUCN's "The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates", but has since been removed from this list after Indian Government and Wildlife Conservation groups in India have taken steps to conserve this species.
5) Project Tiger:
A 200 Paise (or Rs.2/-) Stamp issued on 22.11.1983 highlighting the Project Tiger initiative to conserve the Bengal Tiger
Project Tiger is a Tiger Conservation Programme launched in 04/1973 aimed at ensuring a viable population of Bengal tigers in their natural habitats, protecting them from extinction and preserving areas of biological importance as national heritage.
A Tiger Protection Force was set up among other initiatives to combat poachers and relocation of villages from Tiger habitats to minimise human-tiger conflicts.
By 2015, as a result of the Project, including camera traps and sign surveys, the tiger population was counted at over 2,226 individuals and over 3,000 individuals in 2018.
The Project Tiger is supervised by the National Tiger Conservation Authority.
