In the top left quadrant, the giant panda—a beloved symbol of China—is set against a forest-green background with the Chinese flag prominently displayed, emphasizing its native habitat. Below the flag, the issue date "08/01/93" anchors the card in time. The panda is depicted chewing bamboo, highlighting its natural diet and lifestyle. This focus underscores China’s significant conservation efforts to protect this vulnerable species, making the panda a powerful emblem of environmental awareness and endangered species advocacy.

The upper right quadrant showcases the harp seal, a marine mammal native to Canada’s Arctic regions. The seal appears in close-up against a deep blue background that evokes icy northern waters. The Canadian flag beside it situates the animal geographically, with the issue date "12/01/93" reinforcing the series’ timeline. Harp seals face threats from climate change and hunting, and their inclusion on the card emphasizes critical conservation concerns. This image serves as a reminder of the fragility of marine ecosystems and the importance of protective policies both in Canada and globally.

The bottom half of the card is divided between the humpback whale and the macaw, paired with the American and Brazilian flags, respectively. On the left, the humpback whale—renowned for its acrobatic breaches and haunting songs—is set against an oceanic backdrop. The American flag signifies the species’ presence in North American waters, with an issue date of "01/15/94" highlighting the international scope and timeline of this edition. On the lower right, a striking macaw is featured against a lush green background, accompanied by the Brazilian flag, symbolizing its native rainforest habitat. This vivid portrayal celebrates biodiversity and underscores the urgent need to protect these vibrant ecosystems.
