Atlantic Rainforest is one of the most threatened forestry formations in Brazil. In contrast with its enormous diversity and exuberance, more than 70% of Brazilian population lives on the territory of this biome. Main preserved areas under its dominion are situated in southeast of Brazil, actually represented only by fragments of secondary forestry formations. The few fragments of primary forest are found concentrated in areas of high altitude and difficult access. Visconde de Mau? is situated in maci?o do Itatiaia, part of Serra da Mantiqueira and it includes countless fountains of the Preto river, that function as a frontier between Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro state. It belongs to dominion of Atlantic Rainforest dominion, with 1200m of medium altitude, situated in the Serra da Mantiqueira Ambiental Protected Area and surroundings of Itatiaia Nacional Park. The general objective of this work is find perspectives in what the applied ethnobotany research can provide important subsidies to elaborate development strategies and a conservation dimension in the region, perpetuating its natural and cultural riches. Thus, we search to confront the actual conservation model with the ethnoconservacionism to Atlantic Rainforest biome, yonder put on debate ways to integrate traditional knowledge about forestry resources with consistent strategies of local public politics. Ethnobotanical standard procedures were applied with traditional key-informants and local artisans. Key-informants have recognized the mosaics of landscape unity, with its own biodiversity and dynamic, called Campo, Brejo, Floresta, Mata de beira de rio e Quintal. This last one involved, over all, fields of corn and bean associated with agricultural genders of subsistence, tradition that has been lost due to changes in work relationships and in use of the land that followed the increase of touristic activities and changes in environmental laws. The knowledge associated with these practices, however, is kept in popular concepts, transmitted through oral form, in different ways of traditional agricultural management and forest myths and legends. The species Ormosia aff. ruddiana and Araucaria angustifolia become evident as priorities species in conservational acts, due the intensity and models of extractivism that occurs in region. Researches on ethnobotany are keys to obtain ways of sustainable managements of vegetables resources and from many others conservation strategies according to local sustainable development. Sciences that study these ethno-conservacionist perspectives should be included in Environmental Education programs as an urgent extent, once oral tradition and traditional practices have been reduced drastically. Some methodologies of return of ethnobotanical researches were applied to community of Visconde de Mau?, as the construction of a vivarium of forestry seedlings inside a local school, the distribution of informative leaflets about useful species, the management of an agricultural unity through agroforestry communitarian practices and the organization of environmental soir?es to revalorize local culture, inside and outside formal educational institutes.
