Environmental Education and oralities: the construction of Caparaó Capixaba through the reports of educators

Abstract

This article aims to present the history of the construction of Caparaó Espírito Santo (Brazil) based on the oralities presented by authors who were at the forefront of this entire process that began more than thirty years ago. The point of convergence for this was the mobilization in favor of opening a gate on the Espírito Santo side that would give access to Pico da Bandeira, exclusive, until then, on the Minas Gerais side. We used oral history as a methodology to conduct interviews with those selected, together with research into documentary sources, academic works and reports. We conclude with the importance of this process and its repercussions to this day.
