Does anyone know a location in Seoul or Incheon where I can find some wildlife posters? I've searched Carrefour, Lotte Mart , Emart , two large bookstores in Bupyoung, and some small stationary stores in my area.
There were no poster displays at these locations, at all.

Thanks.

Perhaps an indication of the regard for wildlife around here?

If you do some searches on the internet, there are a lot of government departments in Canada, the US, and Australia that will send you wildlife posters for free. They'll pay the mailing cost. It takes a bit of searching, but if you search using keywords like "free poster", "wildlife poster" or "tourism poster", you can find a lot of free stuff. A few years ago I got the New South Wales Department of Environment to send me a dozen copies of a great wall poster about Australian wildlife, with lots of details.

You have to lie a bit to get the posters, though. Just send them an email, tell them you're a teacher from Canada/USA/Australia/whatever working in an elementary school in Korea, and you are looking for copies of said posters to use in your lessons. Usually they will send them to you no problem.

Another good idea, before you go overseas, is to pop into the local branch of the department of environment and/or your travel agency, and ask them if they have any old wildlife or travel posters kicking around that they don't use anymore. Usually they will have something in a back closet somewhere they're willing to give you to get off their hands.

Great suggestion. I actually did some of the searching (and ordered a lot of great stuff for my classroom in the process.)

Some of these will ship international, not all:
