The present research was based on the idea that demographic factors and scientific dissemination activities influence the knowledge and perception of Cerrado biodiversity in cities in the interior of the state of Goiás (Rio Verde and Novo Brasil) and metropolitan regions (Senador Canedo). For this purpose, surveys were proposed to elementary school students from five schools, in order to raise their knowledge about the fauna and phytophysiognomy of the Cerrado, the perception they have about their own knowledge and its relationship with the activities of scientific dissemination. The results are surprising: students from predominantly rural areas and cities in the interior correctly answer more questions related to Cerrado biodiversity and recognize that they have more knowledge about it, in addition, students who participate in more dissemination activities also show better results. The research concludes that the physical proximity to biodiversity is an important factor for the construction of knowledge and that intrinsic factors such as experiencing the concepts and contact with activities and materials for scientific dissemination are important means of making up for the absence of this direct contact.
