Abstract

Sierra Nevada, California, 2019. World-leading Climate Change scientist Camille Parmesan and Evolutionary Biologist Michael C Singer have conducted field work on the ecology and evolution on the Edith’s Checkerspot butterfly since 1968. The film is narrated through their investigations and discoveries during field work and is a glimpse into their life-time dedication to this study. During their search for these vulnerable insects, we are presented with a microcosm universe seen in relation to global climate change patterns.
Supported by President Macron’s Make Our Planet Great Again Award to Camille Parmesan.
Parmesan and Singer’s lifelong work on butterflies is reflected in IPCC reports
(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) documenting the dramatic impact climate change already has had on plants and animals around the world. Parmesan has contributed to the IPCC reports for more than 25 years. IPCC was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 ‘for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change’.
