Causas de RaizThe citizen map of environmental conflicts in Portugal
Causas de Raiz home page, with the map of environmental conflicts

More than 140 environmental conflicts across mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores, place by place: mines, dams, solar megaprojects, landfills, resorts and forest clearing.

Each case shows what is at stake, who is resisting and where to take part: petitions by local groups and public consultations before they close.

Demonstrations, strikes, people's assemblies and encampments on a map and in a calendar, with the time, the place and the group that calls them.

In How to act, the rights of people who protest, with the law explained simply. Any group can put its struggle on the radar.

About

Trees are Water is a communication agency for regeneration and digital autonomy. We make maps, websites and campaigns for those who defend the land, water, housing and the right to the street.

We created Causas de Raiz, the citizen map of environmental conflicts in Portugal, protestos.net, the radar of struggles in Portugal and Spain, and Movement Against Hate.

We worked on the social media campaign of GAC, the Joint Action Group against Racism and Xenophobia, for the citizens' legislative initiative to criminalise all discriminatory practices.

We also work with regenerative businesses from communities seeking another way of living, such as Pão da São, a naturally fermented bakery in Vimieiro, using Portuguese stone-ground flour.

How we work

Every project has to give back more than it takes: to the land, to the water and to people.

Donate

Every donation keeps the maps and tools open to everyone.

Donations pay for hosting the maps, the domains and the research behind each case.
