You can add geographical coordinates, descriptions and photos of polluted places. Marked spots are visible to all users of EcoHike who can consider problematic places alongside their track while hiking or backpacking and join their efforts to clean up these locations. All changes on a map (both adding new spots and removal of resolved issues) are verified by EcoHike moderators (may not have direct connection to GL, but they cooperate with the GL as partners set up for this purpose).
