The objective of this study was to develop an interdisciplinary teaching tool inspired by the legends and myths of the Amazon as a contribution to the teaching of environmental sciences and the conservation of Lago do Segredo. The area chosen for the research was the rural community of Segredinho and the State High School Apolônia Pinheiro dos Santos, both located in the District of Tauari, municipality of Capanema-PA. The sample universe consisted of 30 students and 6 teachers at the School, in addition to 33 residents of the Segredinho community. An mini e-book divided into eight small chapters, interspersed with poems and images, was the chosen product, which was evaluated positively by those who were willing to answer the validation questionnaire. Of the teachers, 60% declared to participate in projects, although some have highlighted that this participation is not routine, but sporadic, and highlighted as difficulties the lack of collaboration, the issue of time and the difficulties of the educational system itself. 37% of community residents consider work to be the biggest challenge or difficulty in Segredinho. In conclusion, it was possible to verify that there is a wide field to be explored using the legends and myths of the Amazon in the promotion of actions both in the area of education and in the area of environmental conservation. Within the scope of this research, many challenges were envisioned and some paths were taken to face them, such as the need for new research and projects both in the school and community spheres.Acesso AbertoAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Comunidades tradicionaisRecursos hídricosSocioambiental.DissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::GEOCIENCIASAMBIENTE E SOCIEDADEENSINO DAS CIÊNCIAS AMBIENTAIS
