Editorial illustration created for the Wildlife Trust of India highlighting the vital role of mangrove ecosystems in protecting both people and biodiversity. Produced for the Kannur Kandal Project, the artwork draws a visual parallel between face masks protecting people during the COVID-19 pandemic and mangrove forests acting as natural shields against cyclones, coastal erosion, and climate change.

​The illustration combines wildlife, local communities, and coastal landscapes into a single narrative that emphasizes the importance of ecosystem restoration and nature-based climate solutions. Created for an environmental awareness campaign promoting mangrove conservation and sustainable coastal protection.
