 International Council Member 2005-

We are working specially in Uruguay at UVVU, giving lectures (including several foreign specialists from Spain, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil), courses, public activities and activism on our own and helping other organizations, donations to pet's care organizations, etc.

Marly Winckler, our Regional Coordinator, had the chance of take contact with our work, and we are in contact constantly with Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, etc, to grow the UVLA . We have attended First Latin American- Brazilian Congress, in Sao Paulo, with a 5 persons delegation (including a special interview to me for Brazilian TV). All this has no antecedents in our region.

Plans for the next period comprise, among others, a new magazine, maintain constant interchange between Latin America and the rest of the world societies , and growing even more the first vegetarian library and video library, in Uruguay, and we just begun to study and organize data about vegetarianism history (worldwide, but specially in Latin America), copying and classifying data and magazines from 1904 and early 20th Century (we found an important archive at Theosophical Society in Montevideo, Uruguay).

A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.

Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.
