Wetland Champions

Recognising the importance of wetlands, Mongabay-India set out to find people and communities across the country striving to preserve wetlands.

To create a distinct identity, I collaborated with 25 diverse illustrators to create illustrated environmental portraits for each story. I handled every aspect, from commissioning to art art-directing.

Based on the inputs from the series editor, Aditi Tandon, and the journalists, I directed the artists and coordinated the production and delivery of the time-bound series. Each artwork was thoroughly reviewed for representation of communities and also fact-checked for its depiction of species and habitats.
