To establish a link between nature and spirituality, and how the perpetuation of the Pataxó spirituality is deeply related to the preservation of the forest. Together, the spiritual beings and the forest take care ofthe Pataxó, constituting their spirituality and, in return, the Pataxó take care of the forest, which is the home of these beings. This symbiose between nature and culture reveals how the Pataxó culture is linked to the forest and makes the conservation of the environment in the region crucial for their community. The article also proposes to explain how the Pataxó identity is linked to their spiritual beings and what is the role of Pataxó spirituality as a maintainer of the preservation of the forest.
