Who we are
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.

What we do
Four fronts, one voice.
We organise our work across four complementary practices — where science, community, and territory meet.
— 01
Bio-Reserve Management
We plan, implement and monitor private Bio-Reserves — ensuring each territory develops with ecological rigour and long-term commitment.
— 02
Forests & Biodiversity
Defending oak and chestnut woodlands, fighting monoculture, post-fire recovery and species monitoring — from the mountains to the rivers of Central Portugal.
— 03
Citizen science & Education
Ordinary people collecting data that matters. From species monitoring to schools and guided walks, we connect scientific knowledge to local action.
— 04
Advocacy & Territory
We watch the territory, document what happens, and fight for nature with those who hold power. Because protecting means knowing when to speak out and not to back down.
We are entirely dependent on the natural world. It provides us with every mouthful of food we eat and every breath of air we take.
