Abstract

This text reflects on the relationship between experience, knowledge, and biodiversity. It presents testimonies and narratives about experiences in urban open spaces from different individuals and in various contexts. Drawing from these testimonies and narratives, and the concept of experiential knowledge developed by the pedagogue and philosopher Jorge Larrosa Bondía, the relationship between experience and knowledge is problematized, along with the implication of this relationship as a shaping force for an education geared towards biodiversity, attentive to the care that both human and non-human life requires. Based on the reflections prompted by the testimonies and narratives, the text advocates for experiential knowledge as a foundation for education aimed at biodiversity conservation.
