A contribuição do Ecomuseu Natural do Mangue na construção de uma consciência ambiental para a conservação do ecossistema manguezal da Sabiaguaba no município de Fortaleza-CE

Abstract

In view of the great problems caused by eminently anthropic actions in natural ecosystems, especially in the most fragile ones, such as mangroves, preserving the available natural resources is a great challenge. In this perspective, faced with enormous socio-environmental challenges, the need to scientifically document the contribution of the Natural Ecomuseum of Mangue da Sabiaguaba to the construction of environmental awareness for the conservation of the mangrove ecosystem of Sabiaguaba in the city of Fortaleza-CE, taking into account considering that the Ecomuseum model is thought of as a cultural creation center made from the interaction between culture, the community and nature, Ecomuseums are important tools to bring the community the ability to find its identity through local heritage, influencing thus, in the change of negative habits and practices that can destroy the environment. Through bibliographic research and qualitative analysis, this study demonstrates the importance of Ecomunam and its work related to environmental education in the local community. It was realized, then, the value of their practices and how their work is essential for the conservation of the local ecosystem and the construction of a new environmental awareness through the new museology, a theme that is rarely addressed in academic research.
