As questões ambientais têm sido uma problemática contemporânea preocupante. A histórica relação do homem com a natureza a fim de modificá-la e adaptá-la às suas necessidades e aos seus interesses tem causado grandes distúrbios naturais de expressivas proporções. Diante dessa assertiva, tentamos analisar a dimensão ambiental na evolução humana e, especialmente, perceber essa dimensão no interior da educação brasileira. Palavras-chave: educação ambiental; cultura; educação brasileira. Abstract The environmental questions are a contemporaneous problem. The historical relation between men and nature in order to modify it and to adapt it to their necessities and to their interests has caused natural disturbances of great proportion. Therefore, we tried to analyze the environmental dimension in the human evolution and, especially, to perceive this dimension within Brazilian education. Keywords: environmental education; culture; Brazilian education.

The curricular environmentalization presents itself as a viability for the formation of critical and co-responsible subjects with the (re)construction of a better world. The methodological procedures used in this article were the qualitative approach and the Complex Hermeneutic-Phenomenological Approach (AHFC) and made it possible to understand that, in Brazil, the experiences related to curricular environmentalization point to a scenario in which attempts are made to evidence the environmental education in Higher Education, however, despite the successful attempts, there is still much to be considered. This interpretation is due to the analysis of the state of knowledge of the scientific productions about the theme in question and the possibilities for its implementation are focused in actions based on the environmental dimension of the curriculum, or on thematic and punctual actions.

O presente estudo analisou a situação ambiental nos diferentes geossítios do Projeto Geoparque Seridó visando uma prática turística de forma sustentável. Para tanto, se utilizou da avaliação na dimensão ambiental da sustentabilidade dos geossítios lançando mão do modelo proposto por Falcão (2010). A natureza desse trabalho foi exploratória com base descritiva das características obtidas por meio do método da observação das localidades selecionadas. Quanto aos meios, o trabalho foi de campo, com aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os condutores e guias de turismo, bem como com representantes das secretarias de turismo e meio ambiente dos municípios de Cerro Corá, Lagoa Nova, Currais Novos, Acari, Carnaúba dos Dantas e Parelhas. Concluiu-se, porquanto, que os geossítios estudados possuem potencial para o turismo ou pelo menos estão caminhando em direção ao desenvolvimento turístico nesta Região. Diante do exposto, a região estudada apresenta problemas no que tange a conservação dos geossítios, assim como, a falta de consciência ambiental. Ficando evidenciado pela ausência de investimentos por parte dos órgãos responsáveis e a falta de consciência da importância da área também das populações locais e dos visitantes que utilizam seus recursos de forma inadequada. Igualmente, vale inferir que a pesquisa contribuirá para novos olhares com relação à aplicabilidade da educação ambiental na Região do Seridó do Rio Grande do Norte, especificamente ao que tange aos seis municípios supracitados. Touristical pratices through the environmental dimension analysis in geosites of Seridó Geopark Project (RB, Brazil) ABSTRACT This study analyzed the environmental situation in different geosites of Geopark Seridó Project aiming a touristic practice in a sustainable manner. Therefore, it was used the evaluation in the environmental dimension of sustainability of geosites making use of the model proposed by Falcon (2010). The nature of this work was exploratory with descriptive basis of the characteristics obtained by the method of observation of the selected locations. As for the means, the work was a field one, with application of semi-structured interviews with conductors and tour guides, as well as representatives of tourism and environment departments of the municipalities of Cerro Corá, Lagoa Nova, Currais Novos, Acari, Carnaúba dos Dantas and Parelhas. It was concluded, inasmuch as, that the studied geosites have potential for tourism or at least are moving towards touristic development in this Region. Given the above, the region studied presents problems regarding the conservation of geosites, as well as the lack of environmental awareness. It's evidenced by the lack of investment by the responsible bodies and the absence of awareness of the importance of the area for the local population and visitors who use its resources inappropriately. Also, it's worth infer that the research will contribute to new insights regarding the applicability of environmental education in the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte, specifically when it comes to the six aforementioned municipalities.

Perspectivas de mundo são condutas para interagir com as diversas formas de vida no ambiente. Baseado nisto, a temática a ser discutida traz consigo pensamentos para perceber o ambiente pela ótica indígena, em detrimento da ocidental etnocêntrica, e assim articular a ideia do perspectivismo ameríndio como abordagem reflexiva ao entendimento e discussão de questões socioambientais em voga no atual cenário do contexto educativo brasileiro. Dessa forma, partiu-se do debate antropológico a fim de abordar o etnocentrismo, o multiculturalismo e o perspectivismo ameríndio para compreender a discussão acerca da relação Cultura e Natureza. Na sequência, tem-se uma reflexão sobre a concepção multinaturalista ameríndia para desfazer a dicotomia Cultura e Natureza, e com isso pensar nossas interações e relações com outros seres vivos e o ambiente pela ótica ameríndia e suas considerações ecossistêmicas como constructo para uma abordagem educativa. A partir do perspectivismo ameríndio ou multinaturalismo tem-se a possiblidade de exercitar outra percepção do mundo, e suas formas de interações entre seres vivos no ambiente. Trata-se, portanto, de pensar para além do egocentrismo, e com isso compreendermos que somos apenas mais uma espécie na terra, entre outras milhares.Palavras-chave: Perspectivismo; Educação ambiental, Cultura e natureza; Percepção. ABSTRACT: World perspectives are conduits for interacting with the various forms of life in the environment. Based on this, the theme to be discussed brings with it thoughts to perceive the environment from the indigenous perspective, to the detriment of the ethnocentric Western, and thus articulate the idea of Amerindian perspectivism as a reflexive approach to the understanding and discussion of socio-environmental issues in vogue in the current context scenario Education. Thus, we started with the anthropological debate in order to approach ethnocentrism, multiculturalism and Amerindian perspectivism to understand the discussion about the relation Culture and Nature. A reflection on the Amerindian multiculturalist conception to undo the dichotomy of Culture and Nature, and with it, our interactions and relations with other living beings and the environment from the Amerindian perspective and its ecosystemic considerations as a construct for an educational approach. From Amerindian perspectivism or multinaturalism one has the possibility of exercising another perception of the world, and its forms of interactions between living beings in the environment. It is therefore a question of thinking beyond egocentrism, and with this we understand that we are just another species on earth, among thousands.Keywords: Perspectivism; Environmental education; Culture and nature; Perception.

Wellness is not merely the absence of illness, but a state of optimal functioning of body, mind and soul. It is a situation where harmony is experienced maximally. Wellness has various dimensions, namely the physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, social, vocational and environmental dimensions. The latter is the most conspicuous and essential for the continued existence of humankind. The point of departure of this article is that wellness within the environmental dimension is interdependent on care for the environment and that this wellness will only become sustainable if children are exposed to activities in nature from an early age. The role of environmental education in establishing an ethic of care and active concern for the environment, is non-negotiable and essential for human wellness.
