A partnership between Rebecca, Charlie LaGreca-Velasco and the United Nations Environmental Programme, The Earth Defenders graphic novella is a series of vignette comics telling the stories of environmental defenders around the world. Each vignette depicts brave fictional characters taking action to defend the forest, the water, the land, or the air. The stories span the globe and are drawn from real life situations.

The vignettes describe the danger that environmental defenders face and highlight their contributions towards the realization of the universally recognized human right to a healthy environment. Read them all here: https://www.unep.org/resources/publication/earth-defenders-graphic-novella
