Sumario:Various Indigenous communities revere chelonians as sacred entities, using adornments and paintings inspired by tortoises and turtles, such as the Tiriyó and Kaxuyana. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of high school-level students residing in communities within the Indigenous Land of Tumucumaque National Park (Paru D’Oeste river) regarding chelonians and the conservation practices of those groups that hold greater cultural significance for the students. The study employs qualitative and quantitative methods, including questionnaires and direct observations. Data were collected on the perceptions of 26 students, which highlight the importance of chelonians in medicine, food, local handicrafts, and local ecology. The need to respect the nesting period for the conservation of chelonians, which is essential for the community's food sustainability, is emphasized.
