Earth Charter Italy Charity Profile

The National Federation “Pro Natura” is the oldest Italian environmental organization. It was officially incorporated in October 1959 under the name “Pro Natura Italica”, as the direct descendent of the “Movimento Italiano Protezione della Natura” (MIPN), which was established in June of 1948 at Sarre, in Valle d’Aosta, by a group of naturalists who were directly involved in environmental conservation. The leaders of this group were Paolo and Renzo Videsott. At that time, Renzo was the director of the Gran Paradiso National Park.The association managed, without undue emotion, to link environmental understanding and scientific integrity in confronting ecological problems.
