| Summary: | The absence of knowledge about anuran amphibians can lead to the banal extermination of
species. Ethnozoology studies the relationship between human cultures over animals. The study aimed to
verify the use of ethnozoology and environmental education can be lead as tools to change students'
vision on anuran amphibians, aiming at the conservation of being natural environment and making
possible environmental multipliers. Study carried out with 30 students, aged between 11 and 13 years,
from the State School Dr. José Tavares, located in Arapiraca, state of Alagoas. A questionnaire was
applied before the intervention, with simple questions, in order to verify the students' perception of
anuran amphibians. Afterwards a lecture was carried out with the purpose of transmitting information
about the anuran amphibians, after which the questionnaire was reapplied to verify if there were changes in
the students' thinking regarding these animals. It was noticed that 89% of the students did or are faced with
scenes of mistreatment to the anuran amphibians and 85% did not know the importance of these animals
in the environment. However, we saw that after the intervention, the primitive conception of the students
changed by 100% and everyone understood the importance of amphibians in the environment. It is clear
that intervention through environmental education improves attitudes, thus promoting a better
interaction between humans and other animals, contributing to the conservation and protection of
wildlife.
