RESUMO

The main objective of this work was to investigate plans and actions of environmental education developed by “Carlos Botelho” State Park (CBSP) related to riots caused by the clandestine extraction of the heart of palm Euterpe edulis. This area (37,644.36 ha) is located in the south of the state of São Paulo and it is considering Integral Unit of Conservation and Protection. The Ribeira Valley, which composes an important ecological continuum area, is formed by other two units of conservation (Alto do Ribeira Tourist State Park and Intervales State Park). From 1988 to 1994 the brazilian government did not give any support to promote environmental educational activities at CBSP, but it was possible to start the environmental education program, which was supported by the following no governmental organizations: World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Boticário Foundation to Nature Protection. Based on the collected and analyzed administrative technical processes, project reports and acts of meeting occurred at CBSP during the period of 1988 to 2000, it was possible to obtain the necessary elements to understand the environmental program historic and how it was base on. The methodology adopted was the case study. It was compiled a secondary data about the heart of palm extraction, which were given by the policy and people from the neighborhood of the park and individuals who had been in contact with the environmental program or other activities developed by the park as well as the extraction of the heart of palm Euterpe edulis were interviewed. From September 1999 to November 2000 a field daily was elaborated and photos, meetings and activities of the environmental education program and public use developed by the park were registered. In this context and considering the environmental education subprogram, it was identified how the riots, specifically the clandestine extraction of the heart of palm Euterpe edulis, has been incorporated in the management of the park. It was found that the clandestine extraction of the heart of palm Euterpe edulis is not treated as it should be to guarantee the environmental education program efficiency.
