I’m working for months on a graphic reportage about biodiversity conservation in the province of Québec, a project conducted with Journalisme9. Since COP15, UN conference on biological diversity, will be held in Montreal, 7-19 Dec 2022, I worked on short comics about biodiversity and environmental regulations of the last 50 years. I will also attend the COP15 for my documentary, the book coming in 2023.
Here is the first one, with some references at the end.
