Wildlife and biodiversity education in Brazil

Overview

Educational initiatives regarding wildlife and biodiversity are being conducted across Brazil through various institutions.

In mid-August, municipal zoos in Guarulhos and Belo Horizonte hosted events focused on environmental conservation. These activities included sessions on the impacts of pollution, composting demonstrations, and discussions led by specialists regarding exotic mammals such as lions and elephants to commemorate World Lion Day and World Elephant Day.

Following these events, the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo launched an exhibition titled ‘Existe Bicho em SP?’ (Is there wildlife in SP?) in São Paulo. The exhibition, which runs through October 31, utilizes scientific collections and photography to highlight how various species have adapted to urban environments. The project, developed by graduate students, includes lectures and workshops held at multiple locations, including shopping centers and public parks.
