The preservation of biodiversity is equivalent to the care of variety and universality between ecosystems. The work of environmental education arising from an immense effort by the scientific community, politicians and the general population, produces strategies for raising awareness and adhering to causes for the benefit of nature. The scope of higher education is considered a great scenario for carrying out environmental education activities, given that these places encourage actions of research, extension, education and inovation, and can encompass different areas of knowledge and reach the general community. Therefore, the study aims to propose the elaboration of educational boards containing information such as popular and scientific name, taxonomic classification, morphological aspects, habits, reproduction, food and curiosity about the species of native fauna in ecological trails of Higher Education Institutions. The elaboration of the boards resulted in new knowledge on the part of the students who helped in the making of the information boards, as well as in the dissemination of knowledge to the entire academic community and visitors of the Campus, resulting in the expansion of ecological awareness about their preservation of the local fauna.
