Results of the research are presented: Teaching biology and care of life, which includes reflections on the care of life from the understanding of the relationship between nature and culture, relational ontologies and epistemic pluralism. It is based on the systematization of six undergraduate works for the degree in Biology, which are developed from a view of biology teaching in context with intercultural approach, having as a political bet for teacher training, a reflection that implies understanding the teaching of biology as a cultural practice and that peace is not only between humans, but also with other beings and existences with whom we share life.

Among the results is the relevance of linking conceptions of life to the teaching of biology, as a contribution to the renewal of biocultural memory and thus the strengthening of identity and territory, expressed in the empowerment of communities that lead to position the right to a dignified life, where peace is plural, from each of the ways in which it is possible to live it.

Keywords : biology education; care for life; peace; biocultural memory; territory; interculturality; cultural diversity.
