This work addresses the initial training of graduates in biology on environmental education. Since the environmental crisis has been discussed by various sectors seeking improvement with regard to environmental care and preservation, it sought to analyze how the Federal University of Tocantins-UFT has addressed the theme Environmental Education in the Degree in Biological Sciences EAD. In order to achieve the proposed objective, a qualitative research was chosen with questionnaires for data collection. Having a bibliographic review as the basis of the proposed discussion and analysis of the collected data. The authors used for the contribution were: Carvalho (1998), Castro (2001) and Ramos (1996), among others.
