This study is the result of a practical experience attending the “Science Education in Non-Formal Spaces” a discipline of the Graduate Program in Science Education and Teaching in the Amazon. Our goal is to highlight the importance of the CIGS Zoo for carrying out practices aimed at environmental awareness regarding the Amazonian fauna. This is a qualitative and descriptive research. Eight students attending the abovementioned Program participated as research subjects. For data collection, we used participant observation and record of activities performed by the teacher. The mediator teacher used different resources present in the zoo to work with environmental awareness with the students during the practice on the zoo. Therefore, we highlight that this researched place is a strategic space to raise environmental awareness, considering that it houses several endangered species of the Amazonian fauna.
