AbstractThis article explores the changing ways ‘environment’ has been represented in the discourses of environmental education and education for sustainable development (ESD) in United Nations (and related) publications since the 1970s. It draws on the writings of Jean-Luc Nancy and discusses the increasingly dominant view of the environment as a ‘natural resource base for economic and social development’ (United Nations, 2002, p. 2) and how this instrumentalisation of nature is produced by discourses and ‘ecotechnologies’ that ‘identify and define the natural realm in our relationship with it’ (Boetzkes, 2010, p. 29). This denaturation of nature is reflected in the priorities for sustainable development discussed at Rio+20 and proposed successor UNESCO projects. The article argues for the need to reassert the intrinsic value of ‘environment’ in education discourses and discusses strategies for so doing. The article is intended as a wake-up call to the changing context of the ‘environment’ in ESD discourses. In particular, we need to respond to the recent UNESCO (2013a, 2013b) direction of global citizenship education as the successor to the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005–2014 that continues to reinforce an instrumentalist view of the environment as part of contributing to ‘a more just, peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure and sustainable world’ (UNESCO, 2013a, p. 3).

Considerando que a Educação Ambiental pode contribuir positivamente para a solução, minimização e prevenção de problemas ambientais, entre eles aqueles derivados do planejamento inadequado e da gestão equivocada de atividades de Turismo e de Lazer, este estudo, que faz parte de uma pesquisa da Coordenação de Estudos Ambientais da Fundação Joaquim Nabuco – “Dinâmicas Ecológicas e Sociais em Ambientes Costeiros do Nordeste Brasileiro: interações e intervenções” – objetiva discutir e provocar reflexões sobre complementaridades e conflitos entre turismo, lazer e meio ambiente, ressaltando o papel da Educação Ambiental para o alcance da sustentabilidade social, ecológica e econômica, através de análises qualitativas das atividades em questão. Baseou-se em um estudo de caso – o Município Ilha de Itamaracá, pertencente à Região Metropolitana do Recife, Estado de Pernambuco – centrando-se na revisão bibliográfica, observações de campo, levantamento, coleta e tratamento de dados secundários e primários, estes últimos obtidos através da aplicação de questionários semiabertos e histórias de vida. Metodologicamente, a análise de conteúdo permitiu a interpretação das respostas abertas. Os resultados alcançados demonstraram que no município estudado as atividades de Turismo e de Lazer são desenvolvidas de forma intensa, mesmo nos períodos de declínio, ocasionando modificações significativas nos ambientes que lhes dão suporte devido à exploração massiva dos atrativos turísticos; ao fluxo desordenado de turistas, ocupantes de segundas residências, visitantes e excursionistas; à conduta inadequada em relação ao uso das praias e do patrimônio histórico-cultural; à ausência de planejamento e gestão pública e privada que integre uma Educação Ambiental abrangente e continuada às atividades de Turismo e de Lazer, garantindo-lhes sustentabilidade.

AbstractThis article uses an unconventional format to explore the role of parent and nature and the development of a young child's ecological identity. It follows journal entries from a mother observing her young son, Julian, as he explores, interacts with, and learns from the Stawamus River on the west coast of British Columbia. By creating questions, discussing and analysing these written observations, we explore the role of parenting and nature and the implications this might have for environmental education. Some of the ideas explored in this article include early ecological identity, empathy, relational existence, experiential learning, and affordances in the natural world. We further suggest that nature and parent working together might become key educators for a child.
