Thank you for your interest in our free poster offer. We're sorry, but due to overwhelming demand our supplies have now run out. Why not explore the tree of life interactively instead?

I would like to know if there is somewhere else we can order the tree of life poster (to buy or for free) I live in Canada so I'm willing to pay postage and everything :)
I don't go to school or teach or anything but I love to learn and the theory of evolution is one of my favourite subjects,, The seven day rule in the Bible makes me giggle,, :P

BLAOW!

My wall is going to be so gangsta with this wildlife poster on it.

Thank you BBC and the creators of Life, as well as Sir David Attenborough.

Does anybody know where I can get some of that giant cactus fruit? That looks like some tasty fruit.

Sorry, because of the enormous demand we can only make the poster available to viewers in the UK & Ireland.

However, you can still enjoy the interactive version of the poster online:

Such a pity the poster is not available. I work voluntarily for the Wildlife and Environmental Society of Malawi, in Blantyre. I work with over 372 school and community based wildlife clubs, providing educational resources (such as activity sheets). Most of the groups take part in tree planting or growing seeds. We also run a public library, which is full every day we open with students studying. What we don't have is the internet! (I'm in Britain until Jan 1, having a holiday with my sister). So a web-based interactive activity is useless for us!
The poster would have been great for our walls.
However, I also received no answer when I emailed the BBC shop and BBC Trust a year ago for DVDs. A generous friend mailed me all the 'Life of' DVDs to date. We've had one wildlife club walk 20 km to see a DVD in our library (they don't have electricity in the villages). I suppose that might be breaking copyright, but as a charity we have VERY LITTLE money!
Best wishes for a good 2010.

I ordered a tree of life poster a number of weeks ago but it has not arrived yet. I hope I am going to get it. Will people be notified if they are not going to receive one?

Very upset the poster has been withdrawn. If the demand has been so huge surely a reprint would be worth doing. Or a larger image could be placed on the internet for dowload or printing at home.

I would have loved to have the tree of life poster. I don't know if it is possible, but a reprint would be nice. I wouldn't mind paying for it either.
I am a student of Fontys University of Professional Education (the Netherlands) to become a Biology teacher. I most certainly would have used the poster for educational goals in my next internship.

Please make a reprint.

Oh by the way, it would also be nice if people could order it from outside the UK. We want to learn too you know ;-)

Tree of Life poster as a PDF?

Archive Comments

07 Dec 200916:45

Please could the tree of life poster be made available by PDF?

The "interactive poster" is good for getting some extra information but it only displays in a small area of a window, so it is hard to see the overview, but good for the extra information! If the PDF was available we could view it in a PDF reader with full screen, pan and zoom etc.

A PDF would make the poster instantly available to many people around the world who can not get it. It may also save costs for people who are curious and prefer electronic copy over a physical print out.

[Moderator: I will bring your question to the attention of the production team]
