Birds of my school

building an inventory, educational action and popularization of science Building

Abstract

Brazil has high biological wealth and diversity, where we can find the second largest composition of avifauna in the world, and megadiverse biomes such as the Atlantic Forest. However, many factors of anthropic origin put this wealth at risk for human development and exploitation of natural resources. In this sense, given the importance of inventory in conservation actions, the present work aimed to investigate and record the richness and conservation status of the avifauna present in the Municipal School Engenho Jardim, located in the APA Engenho Jardim, rural area of ​​the municipality of Moreno - Pernambuco . From then on, an educational activity was carried out that focused on the avifauna recorded in the place for the purpose of scientific dissemination, presenting the species to elementary school students from the first to the ninth grade, the action included the making and presentation of a banner exposing the content obtained in the survey, dynamically, and composition of a song in order to promote a non-formal teaching-learning process. The survey carried out disclosed a total of 58 species representing 10.8% of the records for the state of Pernambuco, where all species are classified as of least concern for conservation status. In addition, a guide for resident birds and school visitors was built, presenting general information about ornithology and avifauna, in order to serve as teaching material used in the school and local community, as well as a source of data for future research in the region.
