Abstract

This project seeks to describe the environmental conditions in E.S.T. and Vera Cruz, a municipality in the west of the São Paulo state, in order to support the environmental education program. Considering the need to integrate different scientific disciplines for the complete understanding of the environment, as well as the interdisciplinary and participative norms of environmental education, it is proposed to develop an interdisciplinary focus and investigate, also the methodological question relative to the theme.
