Sumario:The relationship between human societies and nature has brought benefits for both parts. The human species has been able to take advantage of the resources of the physical environment to be able to meet its basic needs, at the same time it has contributed to biological diversification. The knowledge of indigenous populations such as Totonac is clear evidence of the multiple relationships that traditional societies have established with their environment. Many of these relationships besides being utilitarian are symbolic, which gives natural resources greater value and importance. Therefore, in this paper we present a proposal for environmental education based on the knowledge of Totonac culture to show another view of how traditional cultures conceive of nature.
