Este trabalho apresenta a análise de 395 desenhos de crianças com idade entre 6 e 14 anos, habitantes de área urbana de Joinville, SC, Brasil, com o objetivo de verificar quais são os conhecimentos desse grupo social sobre a Mata Atlântica e sua biodiversidade. Foram investigados quais os ecossistemas mais representados, assim como a diversidade da flora e da fauna enfatizada. Durante a análise dos desenhos, verificamos que foram abordados quatro temas distintos: “o bom estado de conservação da Mata Atlântica”, “o péssimo estado de conservação da Mata Atlântica”, “comparações entre o bom e o péssimo estado de conservação da Mata Atlântica”, e “recomendações para a conservação da Mata Atlântica”. Os resultados mostram que 60,2% representaram “o bom estado de conservação da Mata Atlântica”.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Children drawings are useful and significant tools that can be used to evaluate their knowledge and the concepts of Science, their abilities and their opinions beyond their reasoning capacity. With their written explanations, 395 drawings done by children between the 6 and 14 years old, inhabitants of the Joinville urban area (SC, Brazil), were analyzed to test the knowledge of this social group on the Atlantic Rainforest and its biodiversity. More precisely, we analyzed the material for the ecosystem represented, and the diversity of the fauna and flora illustrated. Four themes in relation to the Atlantic Rainforest have been identified: “It’s good condition of conservation”, “Its bad state of conservation”, “A comparative point of view between its good and bad state of conservation” and “Recommendations for its conservation”. The results show that 60.2% of the participants had represented “good condition of conservation of Atlantic Mata”.]]></p></abstract>
