FAQs
Who took all of the photos in your posters?
All of the photos in all of the posters were taken by me, Robin James Backhouse. In the vast majority of cases, these are photos of animals seen and photographed in the wild. In a handful of cases, photographs of animals in captivity have been used when I have no realistic possibility of ever seeing a wild individual.
Your '---' poster doesn't feature '---'. Why not?
I have tried hard to make each poster as comprehensive as possible. However, the biodiversity of some regions is so high that this is not always possible, and easily more than a lifetime's work for one person. I regularly update the posters, adding missing species as and when I can.
In your mammals posters, some of the animals are missing their feet. Why?
Almost all photos used in my posters are of wild animals, photographed in their natural habitats. Most animals don't stand out in the open as this would expose them to their predators, prey or both. Herbivores like to stand in the grass, bushes etc. and therefore their feet are often obscured.
Why haven't you made any posters about '---'?
The posters are limited by the places that I have lived in and travelled to so far. They are also limited by the species that I have had the opportunity to photograph. In time, I plan to broaden the range as much as possible.
Where do you ship to?
The posters can be shipped worldwide using a tracked airmail service. Please note that all of the posters are printed in the UK and when ordering for delivery to another country the customer is responsible for the payment of any applicable import duties, tariffs etc.
Are you associated with any organisations?
Not officially, no. I support many wildlife conservation organisations personally and some local conservation outfits make use of my posters but I am not affiliated with any in an official sense. If you are associated with a conservation organisation and would like to work with me I would love to hear from you - please get in touch via the contact page.
What qualifies you to make these posters?
I hold a degree in Biology from the University of Sheffield in the UK and have 17 years experience of teaching Biology to high school students. I am a qualified safari guide through FGASA and the KPSGA. I have lived and worked in six different countries and during my own time have dedicated most of it to observing, photographing and learning about wildlife. When creating my posters, I am thorough in my approach to consulting the relevant literature or people as necessary, crediting them as appropriate. As a photographer I am entirely self-taught.
How big are the posters?
The posters are all A2 size (420 x 594 mm / 16.5 x 23. inches). This is the optimum size to ensure clarity of the written information and cost-effectiveness for printing.

How are the posters packaged?
Prints only: sent rolled in postal tubes. Each print is wrapped in acid free tissue paper, the prints are then rolled around a smaller tube to protect the prints from getting creased while rolling. The prints are then wrapped in a heavyweight paper, typically longer than the prints to protect the edges while inside the postal tube, this paper roll is then taped to stop the prints from unwinding and filling out the tube, which makes it easier to remove from the tube. All materials within the postal tubes are recyclable, the only plastic element is the postal tube end cap.
​
Framed prints: the frames are protected by wrapping them in a protective foam tubing (made from recycled plastic), this package is then wrapped in biodegradable bubble wrap to further protect the overall product. Cardboard corners are used to further protect the corners of the frame from being knocked. This package is then boxed if not alone, or packaged within packing card to protect the order in transit.
