The present article was analyzed the environmental education activities performed in theNatural Paks of Canela/RS, including its relationship with the Sustainable Tourism. Thus, initiallywere identified the parks with relevant natural characteristics and developed a questionnaire thatwas answered through email by their administrators. The questionnaire is composed of 15questions which aimed to assess broad and restricted issues about the area of the parks, likelocation and premises, management, public, conservational aspects, social relations andenvironmental education practices. Of the 17 national parks listed, 10 completed thequestionnaire. From this study it was found that there is a much unpreparedness in relation to theadministration of the parks on their conservation and management. There is also evidence of lackof knowledge about the abiotic, biotic and socioeconomic facts of the parks, which most don’thave any management plan. There is a deep unpreparedness of the directors in relation to theconcepts of sustainable tourism and to their own environmental education practices, making useof these terms indiscriminately as green-marketing.
