Who Needs a Bat-Signal When You’ve Got Rohan’s Green Humour to Save the Planet?
With wit as his superpower, Rohan Chakravarty’s cartoons give us humour, heart, and hard truths about the environment.
The world might be on fire (figuratively and literally), but Rohan Chakravarty’s cartoons are here to save the day, one laugh at a time. Humour is one of the most effective ways to draw attention, especially when the issue at hand is as serious as the environment. Rohan’s work as a cartoonist, illustrator and wildlife buff not only makes you chuckle but also delivers hard-hitting facts about wildlife conservation, climate change, and endangered species all wrapped up in neat little cartoon packages.
So, why does humour work so well when addressing serious issues? Simple, it gets people to pay attention. The environmental crisis can be overwhelming, and sometimes people need a bit of levity to keep the conversation going. And that’s exactly what Rohan does best: he uses humour to spark awareness and inspire action.
Rohan’s Wild Career Switch
Rohan’s path to becoming one of India’s leading environmental cartoonists wasn’t exactly straightforward. At one point, he was a dentist. Yes, you heard that right, a dentist by day, cartoonist by night. But a life-changing visit to Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary in Maharashtra convinced Rohan that his future lay in wildlife conservation and, somewhat surprisingly, cartoons.
It wasn’t an overnight decision. He honed his skills in media and animation studios, gradually building up a portfolio that would eventually bring Green Humour to life. Rohan became the first Indian cartoonist to feature on GoComics in 2013, and from there, he skyrocketed to fame with his comics about animals, conservation, and the environment. Today, he’s a beloved figure in both cartoonist and environmental circles.
Saving the World, One Cartoon at a Time
Launched in 2013, Green Humour is no ordinary comic strip. It’s a collection of satirical and clever cartoons focused on wildlife conservation, sustainability, and the environment. If you ever thought cartoons couldn’t save the planet, Rohan is here to change your mind.
His work has been featured in some of India’s biggest publications, including National Geographic Traveller, The Hindu, Mid-Day, and Tinkle Digest, and has even made its mark on international platforms like GoComics and Sanctuary Asia. He’s also appeared in global campaigns for organisations like WWF, the Wildlife Trust of India, and the International Crane Foundation.
Other notable works include Bird Business (BNHS) and The Great Indian Nature Trail (WWF). He’s collaborated with environmental organisations like Birdlife International and Save Our Seas Foundation, spreading his green message in the most creative way possible.
Not Just Wild, But Global
Did we mention Green Humour is taking the world by storm? With international features and collaborations, Rohan’s comics are as global as the issues he tackles. His art has contributed to conservation campaigns and even graced the pages of Penguin Books, with titles like Green Humour for a Greying Planet and Making Friends with Snakes. Talk about a legacy!
The Power of a Good Laugh (and a Pencil)
What truly sets Rohan’s cartoons apart is their blend of humour with serious environmental messages. His characters, a moody polar bear here, a sassy koala there don’t just make you laugh; they make you think about the world around you. It’s wildlife conservation, but with a twist of wit. With every sketch, he’s helping to raise awareness about endangered species, habitat loss, and the urgent need for environmental change.
And let’s talk about those workshops! Yes, Rohan doesn’t just sit back and draw all day; he actively engages with budding artists through cartooning workshops. He helps aspiring artists master the art of storytelling through cartoons, transforming simple ideas into expressive comic strips.
So, How Much is Rohan Worth?
While Rohan hasn’t made a habit of flaunting his earnings (he’s too busy saving the planet), it’s safe to say his work is highly valued. Between commissions, book sales, and collaborations with major publications and organisations, his career is on an upward trajectory. An official net worth isn’t available, but if his work keeps growing, so will his influence and his bank account!
