The LIPU is part of a world plan: our actions are part of the global strategy of BirdLife International, a group of beyond 100 associations that develop actions and plans for the nature in each part of the world.

The LIPU, "Italian Society for the Protection of Birds" since 1965 is the most important Italian association for birds and nature protection. It gathers beyond 50.000 partners and donors who contribute with inscription's quotas to all our plans.

Here some of these:

• the"hospitals" reinstate wounded birds to the wild life every year, like the Birds of prey Rescue Centre of Parma and Verona; the Sea and Lake Birds Rescue Centre of Leghorn; the Wildlife Rescue Centre of Rome and Ficuzza.
• the natural oases managed to protect the nature, where everyone can observe the animals without disturb them too.
