LIPU-UK was founded in 1989 and since then has been successful in supporting LIPU, the Italian League for Bird Protection,
the BirdLife Partner in Italy, in many ways.

LIPU-UK members have been to Italy to help on the ground with various projects and members and friends have together raised money totalling over £2,000,000 which has been committed to conservation work in support of the birds in Italy.

With great regret and sadness LIPU-UK ceased operating on 30 June 2026.
