Cancún, Quintana Roo — The Benito Juárez municipality, through its General Directorate of Ecology, has launched the “Parque Kabah in 60 Seconds” short video contest to encourage environmental awareness and conservation of Cancún’s main green lung.
The initiative invites content creators, students, environmentalists, photographers, digital artists, and the general public to produce short videos focused on the preservation of the Parque Ecológico Kabah. The goal is to use digital platforms as tools to raise awareness about protecting the park’s flora and fauna.
Under the institutional slogan “Cancún unites us for transformation,” the contest seeks creative and innovative proposals that reflect the natural wealth of this urban reserve and promote a culture of respect for local ecosystems.

The park is home to coatis, iguanas, birds, and various species typical of the Quintana Roo lowland jungle.
Only the first 30 registered participants will be accepted due to the evaluation committee’s operational capacity. Videos must not be published on personal social media before the official results announcement; any content shared before June 5 will be automatically disqualified.
