Environmental education has evolved over the years to respond to the varied complexities found in the different localities where it is practiced. In many parts of the world where biodiversity is rich, social conditions are poor, so educators have included sustainable development alternatives to better the environment and the livelihoods of local communities. Primate conservation education programs, which are often based in areas that face such challenges, have been a vanguard in creating means to integrate people with their natural environment and thus conquer supporters for the protection of natural habitats. In the search for effectiveness they have adopted evaluation methods to help assess what was offered. An example from Brazil is described in this commentary.
多年来，环境教育一直在发展，以应对在实践中遇到的不同地区的各种复杂情况。在世界上许多生物多样性丰富但社会条件较差的地区，教育工作者已经纳入了可持续发展的替代方案，以改善环境和当地社区的生计。灵长类动物保护教育计划通常基于面临此类挑战的地区，是创造将人与自然环境融合的手段的先锋，从而赢得了保护自然栖息地的支持者。在寻求有效性的过程中，他们采用了评估方法来帮助评估所提供的内容。本文评论介绍了巴西的一个例子。
