About this book

Language: French

Who has not been spellbound by the singing of whales responding to each other through the vastness of the oceans, by the sight of dolphins playing in front of the bow of a boat or the soulful eyes of baby seals on the ice? In our imagination, marine mammals are cute animals. But what do we know about the reality of the threats they face and their slow disappearance from our rivers and oceans? These animals are actively contributing to the rich biodiversity of our planet; their decline would be a tragedy.

Animal photographer and science journalist, Jean-Pierre Sylvestre is an adventurer of the natural sciences. In this fascinating book, both a detailed account of species and a travel log, the reader is invited to travel the world patiently watching these species that, such as the polar bear and whale, are in danger of disappearing.


Summary in French:
Qui n’a jamais été saisi par le chant des baleines se répondant à travers l’immensité des océans, par le spectacle des dauphins jouant à l’étrave des bateaux ou par le regard attendrissant des bébés phoques sur la banquise ? Dans notre imaginaire, les mammifères marins sont des animaux attachants. Mais que savons-nous de la réalité des menaces qui les guettent et les font lentement disparaître de nos fleuves et de nos océans ? Ces animaux contribuent activement à la richesse de la biodiversité de notre planète ; leur déclin serait une tragédie.

Photoreporter animalier et journaliste scientifique, Jean-Pierre Sylvestre est un aventurier de la science naturaliste. Dans cet ouvrage passionnant, à la fois inventaire détaillé des espèces et carnet de voyage, le lecteur est invité à parcourir le monde et à observer patiemment ces espèces qui, de l’ours blanc à la baleine, sont en danger de disparition.
