description This paper presents the project design and development of an electronic atlas prototype, that aims to support environmental education in protected areas. A case study was carried out at the Morro do Diabo State Park, located at western São Paulo State. The first stage envolved the definition of Atlas purpose, geographical area and scales. The explanatory model came out after the approached content was analyzed: history and landuse, conservation and management and, society and environment. In order to do so, key informants were interviewed. The study area and some other protected areas were visited. Then, cartographic symbol and type design, and the layout were defined. The propotype visualization was implemented in the Arcview 3.0 package. This software tools and facilities for map making and data base integration, made the integrated approach possible for environmental education, based on the proposed model. However, it is recommended that the prototype must be evaluated to get a feedback from the potential users (teachers and students).
