The balance lines of these domains can be severely impaired by global warming, for which human beings have been blamed in this Cenozoic era, destabilizing access to recreation and guided tours. Through a methodological approach based on an international literature review focusing on the northern Amazon, the main objective of this chapter is to demonstrate the relevance of sustainability practiced by citizens from the local reality of mountain geosites, establishing the relationship with the municipality of Mucajaí, Roraima, Brazil. The results can be considered useful references for the scientific community, contributing to the sum of local strategies, with global repercussions, for the development of citizenship, so as not to contribute to the increase in the climate emergency experienced today. To this end, it will be necessary to promote behaviors that avoid episodes of great repercussion and irreparable damage to the communities involved in conducting, encouraging and rescuing the sense of preservation, thus promoting ecological knowledge, and contributing to a more sustainable world.engGeotourismGlobal warmingMountain ecosystemSustainabilityMucajaíbook part10.1007/978-3-031-87108-5_15
