The UN summit on biodiversity opened on Wednesday December 7 in Montreal with a colossal challenge: to try in less than two weeks to seal a historic agreement, the "last chance" to save species and natural environments from irreversible destruction.
A million species are threatened with extinction, a third of the land is seriously damaged and fertile soils are disappearing, while pollution and climate change are accelerating the degradation of the oceans.
But at the time of the energy crisis, the governments of the planet seem more concerned with saving fossil fuels than with those of giraffes and elephants, denounces the designer Adene who revisits here with irony the biblical myth of the Ark of Noah.
Adene, whose real name is Anne Derenne, is a French illustrator who has been living in Spain since 2009. She has a degree in international economics and has worked as a press cartoonist for several years.
She regularly publishes in various magazines in France and collaborates with the Cartoon Movement site.
Winner of numerous international prizes, she also draws for NGOs, associations and foundations such as Adessium and Cordaid.
