The Lega Italiana Protezioni Uccelli (UPU) aims to change people's attitudes and actively to promote the welfare of birds in Italy. , :1 1,, r: I ,, .. , , ,' t , , , ,; ,l I• ,I -,, , , , Each spring millions of birds are killed in Italy. For many birds crossing the Strait of Messina, to mainland Italy, migration is a oneway trip.• Around Messina poachers firing from huts, specially built shooting towers and even rooftops kill thousands of birds. In 1989 on one day alone L1PU observers recorded more than 3,000 shots in the Messina area. Favourite targets are the migrating birds of prey; most prized of all are the, majestic honey buzzards, the "adorn'''. Tragically, it seems, the killing of an "adorno" is still regarded by some young men as proof of their machismo. In Italy the killing of migratory birds is worse than any other Mediterranean country: in the north, birds are trapped using' snares, and, lime and there are sophistcated trapping stations. Shooting' is widespread and often indiscriminate throughout Italy, but is particularly heavy in the south. Estimates of the number of birds shot in Italy each ,year exceed. 200 million and the'main reason for bird killing on this massive scale is, quite simply, fun. Birds are not an essential source of food or income although, of course, some birds are eaten or sold in local markets. . It is interesting to note how important Italy is to the migratory birds: every spring millions cross from Tunisia to Sicily, one of the shortest Mediterranean crossings, and one of three main gateways into Europe. Large soaring birds, raptors and storks.. favour this narrow front in particular. The laws in Italy largely favour'the hunters, 'and those designed to protect birds are poorly enforced. , UPU was founded' in 1965 to protect wild birds and their natural habitat, and now has over 20,000 members., UPU manages nature reserves and undertakes research into the threats to birds and the en\(irohment in Italy., It is constantly campaigning for stronger bird pro\ (.tection laws and the enforcement of the EEC Bird Directive in Italy. . UPU's efforts are beginning to produce results: altitudes are changing. In 1989 over 700,00 people supported UPU's campaign for a referendum to curb hunting. In January the Italian Constitutional Court declared that such a referendum would be constitutional: The referendum will give Italian voters the opportunity to vote for strict controls on hunting including the ,abolition of biid netting and shooting from hides, a restriction on the hunting season and effective policing of the hunting laws. tered hunters, backed by a huge armaments industry and a well organised gun-lobby, so the hunters won't be short of funds. UPU's resources, however, will be limited. As well as national campaigns, UPU organises volunteers to try to stop the illegal slaughter each year of the spring migrants. Sometimes the receive help from the local police or forest guards, although last year t~e, police helicopter arrived too 'late, after the main migration and killing had taken place. , . The volunteers, however, are quite clear that,theyare in the frontlin~ and that can ,be dangerous. ,In recent y~ars the 'UPU.offiqes 'i(1 Messina have b~e(1 blow(l,up,and. a car belonging to the local'UPU representative Ariria, Giordano was destroyed by fire. In 1989 UPU (UK), the Italian League fqr Bird portection - UK Branch was formed and comprises UPU members, "Friends of L1PU", supporters and sympathisers in Britain who want to support bird proiection in Italy. UPU UK seeks to pUblicise in Britain the massacre of birds in Italy and the efforts of Italian conserVationists to stop the massacre and also to raise extra funds in Britain for, UPU's, bird protection programmes in Italy. . A national appeal for funds was launched in Britain by L1PU (UK's) patrons, conservationist Tony Soper and 1V birdwatcher Bill Oddie. They were joined by AJex Falconi, UPU's Fundraising DirecUPU expects that the campaign will be tough tor who flew over from Milan. and unequal: there are For further information, contact over 2 million regis- Roger Jordan, LIPU (UK) Representative, 6 Butlers Close, BroomBill Oddt's with some field, Chelmsford, Essex.

Eroi del passato: Puskas, Riva, Pele 32 June 90 • The English Challenge Wtiere to start? As an Englishman, born and bred, my support must go with them and yet I have gone on record for the better part of the last decade saying that England will not win anything with Robson at the helm. To make matters worse, the Manager has .just named his 22. Realistically, chances? what are ttieir Let us begin. right at the back•. England's strength, as always, is in their goalkeeping department. Shilton will start as number 1 (in spite of surprising fallibility against Uruguay). I agree with Robson omiting Chelsea's Dave Beasant. • • • Derby is being taken as t~e reserve. This is subject to hiS passing a fitness test but frankly, he has had his chance to establish a place in the EnQla!ld side ~ut has not been commanding enough. On the other hand Tony Adams has had a marvellous domestic season and is a better player now than when he played in the European Championships. In spite of England's impressive recent record, it is the back four which causes me most concern, particularly the full backs. I thought Robson would probably begin the' tournament with Stevens and Pearce but I was delighted to see that Parker started the home internatiorial,against Uruguay. Parker is a marvellous asset because not only does he have pace but he is also capable of playing in the middle of the back four and is ideal cover for Des Walker should he get injured. Pearce on the other hand is a positive liability, and whilst he is a whole hearted player, his defensive qualities undoub: tedly lack a measure of subtlety and that is being nice to him. It will be surprising if he g03S through the opening qualifying games without. at least one booking. I really am astonished that Winterburn has not been given a place in the squad. Instead cover for Pearce is provided by Tony. Dorigo of Chelsea. He may have an Italian name but in fact he is Australian born. He only has three caps and is one of the most inexperienced players in the squad. Th~ left flank· is decidedly vulnerable. For my part, I would play McMahon, Gascoigne, Robson and Waddle in the middle with Uneker up front. The only question is who should play alongside him? 'f!1e manager is experimenting with Bames. If the two can hit it off then that is the Ideal formation. It may well be that a target centre forward in the form of Steve Bull may cause a few problems, failing which Beardsley has never let England down. It is asking a lot of Bull though to jump from. second division football to the World stage. So how will England fare? I hope and trust that this time Robson will • have learned his lessons from the past and will go into the competition with a very clear perception of how England propose to play and stick to that scheme although he may need to modify his pairing up front. I believe that this time Eng· land will perform more creditably and qualify for the quarter finals. The heatfofWalker After that, it is in the lap of the gods but given players of the Moving on to the mid. field, I can quality of Gascoigne, Waddle, fully underStand why the decision Barnes, Uneker and Robson they has been made to omit Oavid have the flair to beat anybody on Rocastle who has had an indif· the day.

After all Gascoigne does feature as part of what have they got to lose? the manager's starting line up. I do hope so. Hoddle suffered because Robsons's Squad: Shilton, Woods, Robson could never .decide Seaman, Stevens, Parker, Walker, whether he wanted to build his Butcher, Wright, Pearce, Oorigo, team around him or not. Waddle, Steven, Robson, Webb, . I must confess that I am neither a Webb nor a Hodge far.. I am not satisfied that Webb has sufficiently recovered from his serious injury.
