This work is the result of the "Landscape Observation" Environmental Education project carried out with students from Brazilian Basic Education.  Part of this project was an urban study aimed at analyzing landscape alterations through visits to two strategic points in the city of Itabira: the "Pico do Amor" and the "Morro da Pousada". At these points it is possible to observe numerous details of the consequences of mineral exploration in the areas surrounding the city. By placing an emphasis on the critical gaze as a means for students to interpret the current situation, this work discusses the environmental relationships that individuals have with nature.
