Every report goes on the map

Once sent, the case is placed on the map with date, species and cause. If you report with your account, you can see all your reports under “Mis denuncias” (My reports).

Our team reviews each report and confirms the species from the photos.

Reports show where deaths are concentrated

When reports build up on the same stretch of road or the same power line, we can identify which pole or which bend is killing wildlife and propose a solution to whoever can apply it.

If you find a dead wild animal, let us know

Reporting takes two minutes on your phone.
