Estudio comparativo de conocimientos y percepciones ambientales sobre la Reserva de la Biosfera de Sian Ka'an entre estudiantes de primaria de comunidades maya, México

El estudio analiza y compara las percepciones y conocimientos ambientales que estudiantes de primaria del municipio maya de Felipe Carrillo Puerto tienen sobre la vecina Reserva de la Biósfera de Sian Ka’an (RBSK) en términos de biodiversidad, con el fin de evaluar y elaborar programas de Educación Ambiental (EA) dirigidos a promover la protección de este espacio natural. Se analizan dibujos, cuestionarios y encuestas recogidos en tres comunidades maya que difieren en su proximidad a la RBSK y en su nivel de urbanización. Los resultados indican que los niños en general desconocen la RBSK y la biodiversidad de la zona. Para aumentar el conocimiento ambiental de los alumnos se propone potenciar el conocimiento vivencial, mantener la lengua y cultura maya y el contacto de ésta con la naturaleza y potenciar la afinidad del maestro por la temática ambiental y por la RBSK.
