Fighting their battle with pencils, not pistols, more than 100 environmentally minded cartoonists have lent their skills to raising climate-change awareness.
The cartoons were drawn for the biennial Ken Sprague International Cartoon Competition Earthworks 2008.
From polar bears shaving off their own pelts, to Father Christmas riding acamel, the cartoons were united in drawing attention to the need to act against climate change.
The cartoonists' imaginations encompassed wicked humour, biting satire and also a fatalistic bitterness.
Russian Mikhail Zlatkovsky took out the supreme award, showing humanity in the form of a man indecently exposing himself to a pristine universe.
Romanian cartoonist Constantin Ciosu was second, with his image of butterflies chasing a man holding a single flower down an otherwise sparse industrial-lined lane.
Tawan Chuntraskawvong was third with a brutal take on the human impacts of deforestation.
