Unione Zoologica Italiana onlus

The Italian Zoological Union onlus (UZI onlus) was founded on April 22, 1900 and is one of the oldest Italian scientific societies. Currently, the UZI has about 300 members, including scientists from universities and other institutions, teachers, students and enthusiasts. In 1930 it began publishing its official journal, the Bulletin of Zoology, which in 1996 changed its name in Italian Journal of Zoology. Since 1987, UZI began publication of two series of volumes under the name of UZI Collection: one of these, named 'Problems of Biology and Natural History', has already reached the second issue and the other, 'Selected Symposia and Monographs ', the eighth. UZI joins the Italian Federation of Biological Society. UZI representatives, as experts in zoology, biogeography and fauna, are present in various ministerial committees, regional and provincial administrations for everything related to the problems of Applied Biology and Nature Conservation.
