‘moderation thru education’
Our focus is on educational & internship programs by providing modest ‘seed money’ & grants to local animal & environmental activists.
: LIPU-Umbria
(Umbria is a province in Italy.)
Saint Francis thought that birds, because they could fly, interceded before the Divine on behalf of humanity.
Many farmers blame birds for eating crops, but apparently forget that birds eat crop destroying insects without use of chemicals, help pollinate our fruits & vegetables.
The Italian bird group, LIPU-Umbria (Lega Italiana Protezione Uccelli), works hard to stop the largest wildlife slaughter in the world. An estimated 30 million song and migratory birds flying between Europe & Africa are mass slaughtered – some by blinding, others by gibbeting, poisoning, netting or simply being shot for sport.
LIPU-Umbria near the shores of Lake Trasimeno, is critical to the breeding and survival of migratory birds. These dedicated volunteers help maintain this extraordinarily valuable ecosystem located north west of Assisi.

St Gertrude, the patron saint of cats, thought that cats helped humankind achieve an understanding of both the fury and the endless love of the Divine.
Barbara Tuchman argued that it is doubtful the Black Death would have occurred if Europeans had not killed so many cats as witches’ helpers during the Middle Ages.
The Gattaras d’Assisi start their rounds as early as 5 in the morning. They are inspired by the goodness-of-their-hearts to provide a compassionate, healthy environment for cats. They are self-funded on virtually no budget & very much need financial support for both food & veterinary services.
Please check out our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/carecats
100% of donations are used to purchase food & veterinary service vouchers for the cats of Umbria.
