Cartoons, comics and illustration
Notorious for rolling up into a ball like a pangolin to avoid meeting people, Rohan is a cartoonist, illustrator, and the creator of Green Humour, a series of cartoons, comics and illustrations on wildlife and nature conservation. Cartoons from Green Humour appear periodically in newspaper columns, magazines and journals. Illustrations from Green Humour have been used for several projects and campaigns on wildlife awareness and conservation. Rohan has authored five books, and has won awards by UNDP, Sanctuary Asia, WWF International, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Publishing Next for his work.
Mr Rohan Chakravarty is a very talented and creative person. Through his illustrations and cartoons he creates awareness regarding the protection of nature and the environment in a very innovative way. In this session he talks about his books, ‘Green Humor for a Greying Planet’ & ‘Naturalist ruddy: Adventurer. Sleuth. Mongoose’. He gives a very engaging and propelling presentation unfolding the hidden and real meaning behind each of his work. The first book amongst these is a compilation of 200 of his extremely impactful cartoons on wildlife, nature preservation and ecology which have been published in various magazines, newspapers and journals between the period from 2012 and 2020. Ahead in the session he reveals that Ruddy the protagonist in his other book is inspired by Agatha Christie’s character Hercule Poirot, just like him he also solves crime mysteries but unlike in nature and wildlife settings. His work is one of its kind which has brought him great recognition.
