HISTORY

The SHANGRI-LA Ecological Movement was founded in1965 when the problem of ecology in Italy was still not known.  It was created in order to attract the attention of the public opinion on the environmental problems.

Since we started we had to fight against the hypocrisy of our government that wants us to believe that everything is working and that regards naturalist men like us prophets of misfortune and promoters of bad news to upset the public opinion.
We’re still victims of a society that makes the most of rich and powerful people and casts out idealist people like us who try to fight for a right cause. It’s been years and years that we’ve been trying to get the attention of the public opinion on the ecological problems. We’ve been able to go on with our programs thanks to the money obtained by selling some of our products. We’ve attracted the attention of many members who have helped us in many ways thanks to their responsible and constant presence. We have also tried to obtain a permit from the government authorities so that we could go on with our initiative without any repression. They ignored our requests and they also repressed our musical programs to protest against pollution and political mistakes.

On October 7th, 1977, we suffered destruction in our environment, which made our situation even worse than before. We had to beg for some help received at the end thanks to some honest and naturalist politicians from the town of Acqui Terme who believed in our thoughts. We attracted the attention of all mass-media

"If you die due to the environment's degrade and the poison that you eat and that you breath, that's the punishment for your silence and your selfishness, and for the little support you gave for those who are fighting for a better future"
