Abstract

To enrich the knowledge of the biodiversity of the ecosystems existing in the Legal Reserve of the Bauru campus of UNESP and disseminate it, are the principal objectives of this project. It is also proposed, to use this environment, covered predominantly by savanna-type vegetation, to develop practical didactic activities in the teaching of the botanical content of the science and biology program of the primary and secondary levels in the public schools in the region of Bauru. From these activities, we are looking for feedback as to how the field procedures promote a better result in the development of cognitive, ethical and esthetic factors in the pupils involved, principally in the education of citizens who are familiar with, interpret and take responsibility for the destinies of the environments which our native biodiversity possesses.
