We interviewed 112 girls and 90 boys from a school in the city of Joinville, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. These 6 to 14 year old students from grade 1 to 8 were requested to estimate the abundance of plants, animals and microorganisms in the region, and to name the species they know. Our results show that children are aware of the high level of biodiversity in their region, but they had difficulty in naming native species.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Este artigo examina as representações de crianças brasileiras da região de Joinville sobre a biodiversidade da Mata Atlântica. Foram entrevistados 112 meninas e 90 meninos de uma escola particular da cidade de Joinville, Santa Catarina. Os participantes eram estudantes de 1ª a 8ª Séries do Ensino Fundamental, com idades entre seis a 14 anos. Eles estimaram a abundância de plantas, animais e micro-organismos da região e o nome das espécies que conhecem. Os resultados revelam que as crianças estão cientes da elevada quantidade de espécies que a região onde vivem possui, mas têm dificuldades para nomear as espécies que são nativas.]]></p></abstract>
