The present text is part of a broader work carried out as part of the master's degree in Environmental Education at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, whose purpose was to describe the work of Environmental Education, developed in rural communities of Guinea-Bissau (GB) by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). We consider that in the GB it is imperative to develop environmental education in all contexts, especially in the non-formal and informal context, to promote changes in behaviour, attitudes, and values in relation to society, the environment, among others. In this context, for this text we defined as an objective: to know the interventions of NGO in the environmental field in the rural communities of GB. Regarding the nature of the research, this is a qualitative study with descriptive characteristics. Documentary analysis was used for data collection. The results showed that NGOs carry out environmental education actions in the communities. These actions promote visible changes in the communities. Local culture is always considered in the development and implementation of projects, and it is essential to strengthen the involvement and commitment to provide the participation of all, especially women and their empowerment.
