Now a days there is a world wide concern about the environment and this subject has affected all countries. However the commitment among the countries is not the same. The exploration of natural resources without rationality results in an environmental disaster, compromising the future of generations to come. Slashing the forest is a habit of the modern mankind that is the prejudicial not only to himself but also to other animals on earth. The settlers especially those from the Land Reform Program, organize themselves to preserve the environment after receiving the land. This study was focused in an investigation to understand the environmental knowledge of settlers from Darci Ribera s Project, located at Itaporanga County, to verify in loco, how they explain and organize themselves, in order to preserve the environment to reach a sustainable development. The work was based on theoretical concepts shown by Leff, Diegues and others thinkers, and was based on semi structured interviews, applications forms, and by observations of the day by day of settlers. The results obtained showed that settlers have a great amount of environmental knowledge, based in a potential of conservation and preservation, which has been passed from generation to generation, in how to use native vegetation not only as human food, but also as medicines, called by them jungle medicines . It was also pointed out, their productive capacity in order to provide surviving products, with a potential for the internal market, in order to promote a sustainable development. .
