LIPU, the Lega italiana protezione uccelli (En. “Italian League for Bird Protection”) is an Italian charitable organisation, founded in 1965 and devoted to the protection of the country's wildlife with a particular focus on birds.[2] As of 2024, it has a membership of over 26,000 and is the Italian partner of BirdLife International.[1] Moreover, it is one of the most important Italian environmentalist organizations with WWF Italia, Legambiente and Greenpeace Italia.
Operations
Its activities fall broadly within four main areas:
- Species protection, including action against illegal shooting and trapping of birds.
- The conservation and development of habitats important for species conservation.
- Environmental education and the raising of public awareness over wildlife and conservation issues.
- Lobbying for changes in Italian and EU law—or for the more rigorous application of existing law—related to wildlife protection.
