Rewriting Extinction's comic strips are unique in that they use humor, strong feelings and relatable characters to engage readers and convey important environmental messages. This, and the inclusion of adored celebrities such as Cara Delevingne, Robert Sheehan, Sir Ian McKellen helped the comics receive widespread acclaim, with immediate actions taken from the audience, such as signing petitions to help Greenpeace save marine life and protect the oceans (through an Instagram Live event with Clive Standen and a comic created by Wawawiwacomics that sent such a large amount of traffic to Greenpeace’s website that the site crashed.)

The comics cover a range of environmental issues, from plastic pollution to the impact of climate change on wildlife, but also aim to educate new audiences about the wonders of Mother Nature: a series of comics made for BBC Earth helped readers learn about and focus more on the flora and fungi, habitants of forests that usually do not get as much attention.

"We are thrilled to see the impact our comic strips are having on young audiences," said the founder of Rewriting Extinction, Paul Goodenough. "It is our hope that these comics will inspire the next generation of environmental leaders, and help to create a more sustainable future for all."

This series of comic strips is a testament to the power of art as a tool for social and environmental change. With its captivating illustrations and thought-provoking storylines, Rewriting Extinction's comic series is inspiring a new generation of young activists to take action for the environment.
