Documental contra la caza de especies en peligro de extinción del Macizo Cajas

Abstract

This thesis consisted of the production of an audiovisual documentary focused on the preservation of endemic species in the Cajas Massif. Its objective was to highlight the area's natural wealth and its environmental challenges through a scientific and emotional narrative. A qualitative approach was used, integrating testimonies, specialized interviews, and footage from the mammal monitoring program. The script combined scientific narratives with striking visual and audio elements, such as epic and cinematic music. The documentary addressed topics such as the decline of wildlife, the fragility of high Andean ecosystems, and conflicts between humans and carnivorous fauna. Despite a limited technical team, high visual and audio quality was achieved using digital tools such as DaVinci Resolve. This project demonstrated the potential of audiovisual language to raise awareness about environmental issues, merging science and emotion to promote the conservation of Cajas National Park.
