Brazil has a vast territory that is occupied by mangroves, a habitat that has high economic power, as well as richness for various animal species. In Recife, the mangrove swamp is located in the metropolitan region and has been suffering major degradation due to irregular land use and occupation and lack of conservation and preservation. There is no point in talking about preserving the mangrove swamp if the population that is part of it does not understand and does not know its importance, being a challenge for educators, who have a relationship of didactic experience and can realize the pedagogical knowledge in a global and systemic way. in and out of the classroom.
