Espèces d'espèces est un film documentaire de Denis Van Waerebeke, produit par Ex Nihilo, CNRS Images, NHK, France 5, le Muséum national d'histoire naturelle et Arte France. Il fut présenté en festival en 2008 et diffusé en 2009 à la télévision.

Synopsis

Espèces d'espèces renouvelle notre représentation de l'arbre du vivant et nous révèle que les millions d'espèces qui peuplent la planète, la nôtre comprise, appartiennent toutes à une seule et immense famille. Comment classer les espèces vivantes ? Quel critère utiliser pour les trier ? Le nombre de pattes ? La présence d'ailes, de plumes, de poils, d'écailles ? Pas si simple... Espèces d'espèces fait un point sur les connaissances actuelles et rectifie quelques idées reçues sur l'évolution : non, nous ne descendons pas singe, le singe descend auprès de nous d'un ancêtre commun. Non, nous ne sommes pas plus "évolués" qu'une bactérie. De l'étude de l'évolution du monde vivant, aux amusantes inventions de la nature, nous comprenons enfin les termes et les enjeux des débats qui secouent le monde scientifique à propos de l'apparition de la vie sur Terre et de son évolution.

The film follows former dolphin trainer and activist Ric O'Barry's quest to document the dolphin hunting operations in Taiji, Wakayama, Japan. In the 1960s, O'Barry helped capture and train the five wild dolphins who shared the role of "Flipper" in the hit television series of the same name. The show, very popular, fueled widespread public adoration of dolphins, influencing the development of marine parks that included dolphins in their attractions. After one of the dolphins, in O'Barry's opinion, committed a form of suicide in his arms by closing her blowhole voluntarily in order to suffocate, O'Barry came to see the dolphin's captivity and the dolphin capture industry as a curse, not a blessing. Days later, he was arrested off the island of Bimini, attempting to cut a hole in the sea pen in order to set free a captured dolphin. Since then, according to the film, O'Barry has dedicated himself full-time as an advocate on behalf of dolphins around the world.

Every year, there is a burning season in Indonesia. Areas of rainforest the size of Denmark are cut down and set alight by farmers and corporations to develop palm oil plantations. As well as destroying the habitat of critically endangered orangutans, new scientific evidence shows that deforestation comprises 20% of global carbon emissions, contributing significantly to climate change.
