We mobilise people to protect biodiversity in Central Portugal through science, field work, and civic action.
We believe Central Portugal — from its mountains to its rivers, from coast to inland villages — only thrives when nature thrives with it.
Milvoz was born from the conviction that environmental defence cannot be left to specialists alone, nor to institutions alone. It must be done by communities — with science, with persistence, and with their own voice.
We work across advocacy, environmental education, citizen science, and field volunteering. We mobilise people, engage with decision-makers, and show up wherever ecosystems need someone to speak for them.

As part of the programme, we led a walk to the Senhora da Alegria Bio-Reserve under the theme “Nature with a History”.
Read →On the afternoon of 24 September, a rural fire broke out in Almalaguês, near the village of Trémoa. Driven by strong winds, the flames spread very rapidly at first, leading to the deployment of a large number of ground and aerial firefighting resources. Despite some particularly concerning moments, the efforts of the emergency crews gradually brought the fire under control.
