Abstract

The political emergence of indigenous peoples in Brazil in the 1970s/1980s brought contributions to both the environmental and environmental education fields. The aims of this paper are to investigate contributions from this emergence to the environmental debate, mainly as related to the resumption of the concept of biocentrism; and to address some implications of that resumption for Environmental Education. Results corroborate the resumption of the concept but question the claims that it is naïve. Epistemological, theoretical, and political questions are raised. Results also identify the resumption of the ontological aspect of the debate and raise questions about its implications for environmental education research and practices.
