Abstract
The chapter highlights Europe's proactive approach to environmental recovery and underscores the importance of educational initiatives in enhancing public literacy on these critical issues. Real-world data from two case studies conducted in Barreiro and along both banks of the Tagus River illustrate the effectiveness of natural bioremediation in tackling hydrocarbon pollution and restoring ecosystems. These examples underscore the ability of native microorganisms from potentially contaminated sites to effectively metabolize the pollutants present due to their natural adaptation to the local environmental conditions. Additionally, three versatile protocols are presented to improve the practical application of bioremediation studies. By incorporating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), hypothetical case studies, and local cultural and natural heritage as educational resources, this chapter aims to empower learners and promote essential literacy in bioremediation and sustainability for addressing environmental challenges and ensuring ecosystem health for future generations.
