What Mirante is
Mirante is a map of environmental problems in Portugal, kept by the people who notice them. You spot something out of place, drop a pin where it is, add a photo, and send it. Once a moderator has taken a look, it shows up on the public map for anyone to find.
There's no long form and no account to set up. If you saw it, you can report it.
What people report
Most reports fall into one of a few kinds:
- Waste that's been dumped or left to pile up where it shouldn't be.
- Water that looks wrong: a stream that's changed color, foam, or an outflow nobody can explain.
- Fire, whether it's a hazard nobody has dealt with or the burnt ground left after one.
- Wildlife somewhere it doesn't belong, or an animal that looks like it's in trouble.
- Coastline taking damage, from the beaches and dunes to the cliffs.
- Air you can smell or see, like smoke or a haze that lingers.
Not sure which one fits? Pick the closest, or leave it blank and let a moderator sort it.
Nothing goes up unchecked
Every report waits in a queue before it appears. A moderator reads it, looks at the photo, and decides whether it belongs on the map. That's the whole point: a pin on Mirante is one a person has actually reviewed, not just anything someone typed in.
You can report without signing in. If you make an account later, the reports you already sent get linked to it, so you can follow what happened to each one.
