Cortometraje informativo en animación 2D sobre la conservación de las abejas en Riobamba.

Abstract

Thanks to technological advances, animation has become established as an audiovisual medium that enables messages to be communicated in a dynamic and accessible way to the public (Alanís et al., 2015). In this context, the present project aims to raise awareness about the decline of bee populations and its impact on biodiversity, an issue that has gained increasing relevance at both global and local levels, particularly in the city of Riobamba. Bees play a crucial role in ecosystems as pollinators, contributing to ecological balance and food production. However, factors such as pesticide use, climate change, and habitat loss have significantly affected their populations (Dicks et al., 2021; Noori et al., 2026). To address this issue, this project proposes the creation of an informative 2D animated short film focusing on the decline of bees and the importance of these pollinators. Using engaging visual storytelling, the project seeks to promote interest, environmental awareness, and understanding by using animation as a communication tool.
