The article aims to share results of the analysis of the theme biomes in nature science didactics. We seek to investigate possible reproductions of the coloniality of knowledge, through the teaching of biomes in formal education. We assume that the concept is very important in the discussion and search for solutions to the environmental crisis, and that there is a lack of consensus among ecologists on the distribution throughout South America. We analyze that in addition to heterogeneity in the identification of biomes in textbooks, there are foundations of neoliberal ideology and racism. Through this analysis, we announce the need for an education that is based together with the struggle for the land of indigenous and traditional populations for the formation of people capable of acting for socio-environmental issues.
