Results: The findings show the recognition of the anthropic influence on disasters from extractivism, the prevalence of an eco-centric notion of nature and the importance of professional action as a way to reduce risk. Conclusions: Relevance of including in Social Work training, theoretical, methodological and procedural eco-knowledge that problematizes the ethical dimension of the society-territory-nature link.
