ENGLISH
The overarching scientific objective of PROTECT is to assess and project changes in the land-based cryosphere, with fully quantified uncertainties, in order to produce robust global, regional and local projections of SLR on a range of timescales. The project will place particular emphasis on the low-probability, high impact scenarios (referred to as high-end scenarios hereafter) [Stammer et al., 2019] that are of greatest interest to coastal planning stakeholders. A novelty in PROTECT is the strong interaction between these stakeholders and the sea-level scientists, ranging from glaciologists to coastal impact specialists, to identify relevant risks and opportunities from global to local scales and enhance European competitiveness in the provision of climate services.
NATURE
JAGUARLAND
Deep in the heart of Brazil, lies a wetland so vast that you can see it from space: The Pantanal.
For over 2 million years, it’s Pantanal itself who shaped a mysterious creature out of sun, water and dirt. A giant, capable of ruling over its lushy land and ensuring its balance…This creature, almost twice as large here as anywhere else in its distribution range, is the jaguar of the Pantanal.
Just like the Pantanal that gave birth to it, it is as dazzling as it is unforgiving. Its beauty is without equal, but its jaw is the most powerful in the animal kingdom.
With the heat, humidity and the enchanting colors reflected in thousands of rivers, the Pantanal seems to cast a spell on any living creature that crosses it: A bewitching fever that transforms you. No one can emerge unscathed from a life in the Pantanal.
This fever is the daily life of Abigail Martin, a young American biologist. 10 years ago, she was shocked by her 1st encounter with a jaguar, struck by the animal’s power of attraction and its aura. Since then, her life has taken a turn, and she now focuses all her energy on trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding America’s largest predator.

Les sols alpins fournissent des services écosystémiques clés qui permettent le bien-être humain, le fonctionnement des écosystèmes et contribuent à la biodiversité. L’importance de la gestion durabledes sols alpins est reconnue mais insuffisamment mise en œuvre principalement en raison de safonction transversale, de ses structures de gouvernance fragmentées, de ses besoins sectoriels diversifiés, du manque d’informations ciblées sur les sols et des outils de gestion. Le projet vise à surmonter ces lacunes en associant la connaissance des sols alpins, les utilisateurs finaux et les experts, élaborer des informations sectorielles sur les sols, créer les meilleures pratiques et promouvoir la gestion des sols. De cette manière, il améliore l’applicabilité du protocole de conservation des sols de la Convention Alpine et contribue à la protection, à la conservation et à la connectivité des écosystèmes alpins. Le projet associe de manière innovante l’expertise et lagouvernance à différents niveaux et secteurs pour développer et mettre en œuvre conjointement despolitiques / stratégies de gestion durable des terres alpines.
ENGLISH
Alpine soils perform key ecosystem services (ESS) that enable human well-being, ecosystem functioning and contribute to the biodiversity. The importance of sustainable Alpine soil management is being recognised yet insufficiently implemented mainly due to its crosscutting function, fragmented governance structures, diverse sectoral needs, lack of targeted soil information and applicable management tools. The project aim’s to overcome these gaps by linking Alpine soil knowledge, end-users and experts, elaborate sectoral soil information, create best-case practices and promote soil management. By this, it enhances the
applicability of the Alpine Convention Soil Conservation Protocol (SCP) and contributes to the protection, conservation and connectivity of Alpine ecosystems. The project innovatively links expertise and governance on various levels and sectors to jointly develop and implement sustainable Alpine land management policies / strategies.
HISTORY, ART
Chateau de Versailles
The White Fox Pictures team has been working on several projects for the Chateau de Versailles content teams. We are producing two main kind of content for the Chateau, content for the general public (the Chateau’s communication), and content for educational purposes (for high schools around the country).
Exhibition trailer and short documentary
Trailer are both for web and movie theaters and short documentary are educational content.
Famous figures of Versailles
Our aim in this series of films was to portrait the most notorious character of Versailles through a short and dynamic motion design.
10 Paintings
Our aim in this series of films was to help students to get a sense of the construction of the Republic of France during the 19th century through a travel in 10 fascinating paintings. We created the series completely in motion design, putting all paintings into virtual exhibit.

MISSIONS
MISSIONS is a Web & TV show allowing the audience to jump into unprecedented quests.
Thanks to conservation efforts, wildlife icons are slowly reconquering natural habitats. Unnoticed from the world, they are roaming deep forest, high mountains and forgotten villages. What if we were able to reveal their presence by making breathtaking high definition images of those animals in places where they have never been shot before?
Filmmaker and photographer Emmanuel Rondeau is precisely doing this, chasing impossible images of wildlife ghosts. Father of a series of world first images of big cats around the world, Emmanuel is in front of its biggest mission to date: partnering with WWF to make unprecedented images of a series of endangered species to attract the world’s attention and advocate for their conservation.
Using cutting edge technology, a touch of humour, and help from rangers around the globe, Emmanuel’s Missions are not going to be easy journeys. Facing torrential downpours in Bhutan, armies of starving mosquitos in Guyana, freezing temperatures in Siberia or poachers in Congo, will Emmanuel succeed? Whatever happens, this is going to be incredible adventures.
Welcome to MISSIONS.

Join Emmanuel as he journeys to the heart of the mysterious Kingdom of Bhutan in an attempt to capture the majestic Bengal tiger on camera. With only around 100 tigers in the whole of Bhutan, Emmanuel’s mission will not be an easy one. Faced with torrential downpours, high altitudes and extreme terrain, he will be pushed to the limit on his quest.

The biggest protected tropical forest in the world could very well also be the most mysterious one. According to scientists, 80% of the biodiversity of the Guiana Shield is unknown to Science.
Emmanuel’s mission is to penetrate this magical forest, starting from the legendary Nouragues Natural Reserve in Central French Guiana, and to bring back a high definition image never achieved before in the heart of the forest : one of the iconic Jaguar in its natural habitat.
Sharing the life of an incredible team of scientist in the forest, and with rangers patrolling the area to fight illegal gold mining, his mission won’t exactly be easy!
