Freshwater Life of New Zealand

This A1-sized poster (594 x 841 mm) is a celebration of Aotearoa’s remarkable freshwater biodiversity. Bringing together many of New Zealand’s native fish, invertebrates, plants, and aquatic habitats in a single scientifically accurate artwork, it reveals the extraordinary diversity of life found beneath the surface of our rivers, lakes, streams, and wetlands.

Created by photographer Terry Hann, the poster has become a widely recognised educational resource, used in schools, research institutions, government agencies, and homes throughout New Zealand.

Printed on high-quality poster paper, it also includes a QR code linking to an online resource with additional information on freshwater ecology—making it especially valuable for school projects, as well as for teachers and students undertaking research.

It is both an informative reference and a striking piece of wall art for anyone with an interest in New Zealand’s natural environment.
