This research was conducted at Instituto de Cegos de Brasil Central (ICBC), in Uberaba city and demonstrated the use of stuffed Cerrado biome animals by teachers who work with blind and low vision as a viable alternative to Environmental Education. To corroborate whether this was effective teaching tool, was offered an extension course of 44 hours, entitled \"Environmental issues: from theory to practice\" for continuing education, raising awareness among teachers of ICBC on the importance of preserving Environment and also to collect data that proves the efficiency of the proposed goal. We adopted a qualitative methodology and data collection done with questionnaires to participating teachers, one at baseline and another at the end. Research confirms that the use of stuffed animals from the Cerrado biome as a teaching resource for Environmental Education for people with visual impairments. Later this course was offered a collection of stuffed animals to the ICBC that teachers could use in their classrooms, and in other educational spaces for continuing education. The use of stuffed animals contributes effectively to the learning of Environmental Education, therefore, to grope animals, people with visual impairment could feel them in scale with all its anatomical characteristics, such as teeth and coat.
