The focus of this work is the characterization and perception of relations established between the population bordering the Conservation Unit Silvânia National Forest, located in the municipality of Silvânia, Goiás, Brazil, analyzing the current state it is in the area and performing the survey data for characterization of the surrounding population, the environmental perception of the importance of unity and more opinions, attitudes and values present in relation to local biodiversity. We adopted the method of descriptive research with theoretical references from the literature review on the topic considered and data from field work, by applying a semi-structured formulary, in addition to research with employees and manager of the Park. Concludes that CU has its place very conserved and preserves several Cerrado physiognomies, even with a relatively restricted area. Although the results indicate positive aspects regarding the importance of hard drive space as a site for conservation of native flora and fauna, they also lack the sense of a conservation area, the very meaning of conservation and a deep dichotomy between human and nature, reflecting a lack of current condition, especially of its meaning in the context of conservation of the biome and its goals.
