Resumen
This study investigates the relation of the current denial of the knowledge status of the
traditional knowledges, specifically, the traditional knowledges associated to biodiversity, the
modern paradigm, the anthropic global environmental crisis and the Integral Environmental
Education, critical and reflexive. This investigation is made from a bibliographic revision
about the Decolonial Sociology by Boaventura de Sousa e Santos and from the Critical
Theory. The methodology adopted by the world system, modern, western, capitalist – through
cientificism – denies the knowledge status of the traditional knowledges, which is a way of
subordinating or exterminating the people linked to them; as well as, dichotomize nature and
culture, which is put in a place of exteriority/inferiority. The denial of the cultural diversity
and the dichotomy culture/nature, which is in a place of inferiority, it is an inherently
colonialist attitude. Therefore, the alterity and the negative recognition of the Other is inherent
to the colonialism. Overcoming the erosion the culture and biodiversity is a problem
belonging in the whole of the global environmental crisis. It only can happen, if, in the other
hand of the modern colonial attitude, we establish relations of alterity and positive
recognition. Recognizing the diversity of knowledges in the world (epistemological plurality)
– through an “ecology of wisdoms” – the traditional societies and the nature. However, how
do we establish relations of alterity and positive recognitions of the modern culture‟s Other –
nature and traditional societies? On the adopted methodology, it can be done from an
Environmental Education. Fundamentally, in this sense, since critical, integral and reflexive,
far from the Ecologism.
