Abstract
This Irish-language comic is the ninth instalment in the Beo and Raja series and places the bioeconomy at the centre of its story. Through humour and adventure, it explores how language, culture and heritage are deeply connected to the natural world. Douglas Hyde appears as a key figure, grounding the narrative in the cultural legacy of the Irish language and its role in shaping identity. The Marsh Fritillary butterfly becomes the symbol that ties biodiversity to community understanding and responsibility, showing how even the smallest creature can spark wider conversations about sustainability. Intended for use in schools, communities and homes, the comic offers an engaging and imaginative way to learn and reflect. The Irish version is titled Beo, Raja agus Éifeacht an Fheileacháin, with the English version known as Beo, Raja and The Butterfly Effect, making it accessible to a wide audience while championing the importance of the language.
