In the face of this need, the term Citizen Science, which describes partnerships between scientists and lay volunteers, with the possibility of effective participation in the collection and / or analysis of scientific data. Based on this perspective, the Citizen-Consciousness program, a partnership between university, NGO and ICMBIO, with the support of CNPq and Fapesp, was designed to contribute to the training of people, especially residents of the surrounding national parks act as citizen-scientist and encourage volunteering.
