Abstract

Environmental education emerged from society's concern to ensure quality of life for the inhabitants of the planet, contemplating the most widespread concept of sustainable development, so it is of fundamental importance for teaching, especially when applied to students in the initial series. Considering that the Amazon has a mega diverse fauna and that many animals can be found in the urban environment, environmental education can help to reduce environmental crimes that occur to these animals as it allows the construction of a new way of seeing the world and of reflection and action in the environment where students are inserted. Therefore, it is necessary to demonstrate the importance of fauna to elementary school students through environmental education. For this study, different steps were used to obtain the data, application of a questionnaire on prior knowledge, then two lectures were applied in which topics addressing biodiversity in a very broad way and the following one addressed the local fauna. Finally, a folder was made containing information about the animals. In view of this, it was found that many students had a very outdated knowledge about concepts such as biodiversity, as well as the causes of animals are in an urban area, and their importance to the ecosystem, with the application of the work and with the post-test questionnaire there was a significant change in the number of correct answers on the previously mentioned questionnaires. It is thus clear that through of environmental education, students have the opportunity to know everything that encompasses biodiversity, as well as its importance, making people aware of their actions and attitudes towards the environment.
