Working with environmental ethics in biology is challenging because it requires a
commitment from teachers to address issues that are related to environmental ethics.
Which deals with the conduct of the citizen as subject that is inserted in the
environment. This work aimed to identify how issues related to environmental ethics
are treated in the teaching of biology and to know the teachers 'and students'
conception of environmental ethics. To this end, the research was conducted using a
qualitative and quantitative approach, which enabled the collection of data in
descriptive forms with a frequency of repetition of the responses of the questionnaires
used as data collection material. The participants of this research were first grade
students from a state school and teachers from different schools. Through data
analysis we find out what they think they understand and work on issues related to
environmental ethics, the actions of environmental education, because they do not
know the meaning of environmental ethics.
