Abstract
This research seeks to determine the contribution of environmental education focused on the conservation of the Meliponini tribe (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the towns of Fatima and Santa Clara. The methodology of this research had a qualitative-quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive approach, the chosen technique was the same survey that was directed to the inhabitants of the towns of Fatima and Santa Clara, with 19 questions and an interview was also applied to three one specialists, one of environmental education and the other two specialists from the Meliponini tribe. The results obtained show that 55 % of the inhabitants of the town of Fatima and 53 % of the inhabitants of the town of Santa Clara know or have heard the term environmental education, showing that over half of the inhabitants surveyed are unaware of the subject, they have not participated in training or workshops focused on environmental education, so they are unaware of the benefit of the conservation of the Meliponini tribe, but the predisposition of the inhabitants to participate in workshops and trainings to learn and improve their natural environment and the conservation of these species is high. In Ecuador, minimal studies of the diversity of the Meliponini tribe have been carried out; however, each of the records shows the mega diversity existing in the country because we have conditions that favor their proliferation. For this reason, it was decided to develop an educational didactic resource, a didactic and illustrated guide to environmental education focused on the conservation of the Meliponini tribe that will allow us to get to know these organisms and thereby develop an environmental culture in the inhabitants, and thus contribute to maintaining diversity of stingless bees.
