Protected natural areas are one of the main scenarios where Environmental Education (EE) processes are developed. In Brazil, these spaces are called “Conservation Units” (UCs), contexts in which it is intended to ensure the effective participation of local populations in management, in accordance with Brazilian legislation. The objective of this research is to contribute to the analysis and evaluation of participatory public policies developed in Brazilian CUs, specifically those of the Amazonian region. It is an exploratory and descriptive study and is based on the compilation of bibliographic and managerial information about public policies in the field of UCs and in a qualitative-quantitative analysis of data collected through two different surveys applied to different samples of experts. As a result of the analyzes carried out, different visions have been seen: the group of managers presented a more practical view of the factors that favor participation compared to experts who present more idealistic views about the factors evaluated. In this sense, it is recommended to increase the planning of public policies, promote qualified and continuous training of managers in participatory processes, increase the numberof effective personnel of the UCs, promote participatory processes for their management, expand knowledge about the range of social actors that interact and promote processes of dialogue and conflict mediation. ; Las áreas naturales protegidas son uno de los escenarios principales donde se llevan a cabo los procesos de Educación Ambiental (EA).
