The purpose of the present work is to analyze succinctly environmental aspects of the construction of the Ferrovia de Integração Oeste-Leste (FIOL), since the anthropic action is responsible for several modifications, often disastrous in nature and in some ways shocking to biodiversity. This work was developed in the light of the reading of documents drawn up by the company responsible for the construction of the railway and an in loco study, carried out through the application of 41 questionnaires in the village of Santo Antônio, in Ibiassucê - Bahia, and interviews with the local population to understand relationship that society establishes with nature. The basic text is the Basic Environmental Plan, however other sources were used for the construction of this text, such as articles and internet text, as well as documents prepared by the government of the State of Bahia. It is, therefore, a quantitative-qualitative bibliographical research. The results pointed out that there is a great difficulty for the interviewees in conceptualizing environmental impact, in a reductionist way, although most of them are able to identify the possible environmental impacts that a given construction can cause to nature and humans, as well as know how to identify mitigating measures. However, there is still difficulty for a large number of people to understand some terms linked to the environment. It was verified the lack of an Environmental Education that provides a connection that has as its center the environmental conscience, making the individuals responsible for building a society committed to nature.
