From educative contents and activities implemented during the formation of cooperatives of native plant production for desertified arid land restoration, underlying educational concepts such as an open curriculum, practice communities, socio-constructivism, and others are discussed. Contents related to historical environmental problems, and marked differences in priority approaches along time in four groups of residents were outstanding features of the educational process. Restoration-Based Education (RBE) is presented as a theoretical framework and base to remark differences with practical training in ecological restoration. The approach of RBE in this study shows the integration of components of currents of environmental education previously cited in the literature.
