Damage of the wild
The UNA Foundation – Man, Nature, Environment – and ACLI Terra – National Professional Agricultural Association of the ACLI – have signed a three-year memorandum of understanding that marks the beginning of a design synergy, a structured and broad-based agreement aimed at protecting rural areas, safeguarding farmers, and sustainable wildlife management. The agreement emphasizes preventing the damage wild animals can cause to agriculture and human health, integrating these objectives as an active part of biodiversity protection.
Skills, experiences and resources
The agreement, signed in Rome, provides for the development and management of shared projects that leverage skills, experience, and resources to address the challenges of climate change, ecosystem conservation, and the enhancement of Italy's agricultural landscape. In this new direction, the UNA Foundation—long-standing in promoting a systemic environmental culture—will leverage its decades of experience to guide the operational development of the projects, fostering constructive dialogue between the agricultural, environmental, hunting, and academic worlds. ACLI Terra, building on its roots in rural communities, will ensure the coordination of local actions, leveraging first-hand knowledge of the agricultural sector and conducting targeted research on the phenomena influencing its evolution.
Sharing values and goals
"This agreement is not just an operational commitment, but an additional piece of the puzzle that adds to integrated land management. It means recognizing that protecting biodiversity requires strong alliances, capable of combining diverse expertise and translating them into concrete actions," said Maurizio Zipponi, President of the UNA Foundation. "The collaboration with ACLI Terra stems from shared values and socially beneficial objectives; integrating them into a system will multiply their effectiveness, generating tangible benefits for the land and the communities that live there." "Technology will be a tonic for nature," stated Nicola Tavoletta, National President of ACLI Terra. "This agreement also aims to support communities and public administrations in managing environmental balance, including developing innovative work paths in the territories." The protocol has a duration of three years and the technical and scientific contacts to ensure the coordination of activities are Marina Berlinghieri, Head of Institutional Affairs at the UNA Foundation, and Nicola Tavoletta, President of ACLI Terra.
