To date, one of the current topics is the search for effective ways to solve the problem of formation and development of environmental education on the basis of project activities. However, there is a contradiction between the need to form an ecological attitude to the environment of society and the lack or insufficient development of project activities in the education system. At the

same time, transition to a new model of the education system has started at the present time in the absence of teachers' readiness to work within the project model of ecological education. Therefore, formation of ecological education in training of biologists should include two big blocks - professional training as a teacher and individual training as a person of ecological culture. Thus, the relevance of this topic is determined. The aim of this article is to study the formation of environmental education in the training of biologists on the basis of project activities. The object of the article is the process and conditions of project activity application in ecological education. It is concluded that in order to achieve the goal of improving the effectiveness of environmental education of biology specialists, it is necessary mainly to increase the level of environmental literacy, the formation of environmental worldview through project activities, less attention is paid to the content, principles and technologies of the organization of teachers of different specialties based on the method of design on the program «Ecology», «Environmental Education».
