Environmental perception is a tool capable of diagnosing the human being's relationship with the environment, making it possible to establish strategies and actions in the pursuit of environmental preservation. In this sense, the Pampa is highlighted due to its biological importance that sustains a good part of the biome economy. However, in the last decades the Pampa has presented considerable environmental problems. In this sense, the need arises to investigate the perceptions of students of basic education regarding their knowledge on subjects related to Pampa. A total of 94 students from the 9th year of elementary school in three public schools in the city of Uruguaiana participated in this study. Data collection was done through the application of a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions, the answers were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. The results allow to inferring that the majority of students have inadequate and fragmented perceptions about the Pampa biome. In this context, the research provides information for the academic community, in order to promote interventions for the improvement of pedagogical practices, as well as in the promotion of contextualized activities that can help in the expansion of regional environmental knowledge.
