Biodiversity loss is one of the main threats we face today. Species are disappearing at levels never seen in human history. Climate change, habitat loss, pollution, overexploitation of resources, the appearance of invasive alien species are the main threats that many species face today.

The human being is the main cause of these threats, but the power to reverse these extinction processes is also in our hands. Conservation policies and measures have saved many species in recent years. Communicating and raising awareness about the main problems facing biodiversity is necessary in order to continue advancing. Many times the environmental problems that are treated from education, awareness and the work that is done in research centers do not reach the general public, for this reason using alternative media such as art or culture can be of great help to reach to more audiences.

Although the efforts to communicate the scientific results obtained in universities and research centers are evident, using the cinema as a communication vehicle is currently a little used bet.

At the "CINECO - International Film and Ecology Festival" we bring together scientists, filmmakers, conservation associations and the general public.

The main objective of the meeting is to highlight the role of cinema in communication and awareness of environmental problems. The specific objectives are:

1. Communicate and disseminate environmental problems to society through audiovisual pieces.

2. Establish a collaboration network between filmmakers and scientists for the development of future projects.
