KIA Tigers announced on the 7th that it will hold 'Ramsar Day' to raise awareness of the value of wetland conservation during its home game against the Doosan Bears at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 13th.

According to the KIA Tigers organization, 'Ramsar Day' is an event jointly organized by the KIA Tigers club and the Ramsar Regional Centre for East Asia (hereinafter Ramsar Centre). It was planned to inform baseball fans about the importance of wetland conservation through the 'Ramsar Convention', an international treaty on wetland conservation.

Since its debut in 2017, 'Ramsar Day' has been held annually and has established itself as a representative sports environmental campaign jointly conducted by a professional baseball team and an international environmental organization for the first time in Korea.

Before the game, the ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by Park Cheon-gyu (CEO) of the UN Office for Sustainable Development (UNOSD), adding significance to the event.

The KIA Tigers players participating in the game will wear special Ramsar Day uniforms. The special uniforms were designed using the blue-green colors symbolizing the Ramsar Convention and patterns representing wetlands. The uniforms feature a patch of the character 'Harang-i' and the message 'I ♡ Wetlands' conveying wetland conservation.

Various events and gifts for fans are also prepared. The Ramsar Centre will operate promotional booths inside and outside the stadium, giving away Ramsar Day commemorative balls and keychains to spectators on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, the centre will distribute jogging-with-trash-picking (plogging) sets and plan a scoreboard event to verify plogging before and after the game.

During the game, special Ramsar Day uniforms will be offered as prizes through an inning event featuring a 'Wetland Conservation Quiz'. Through the club's official SNS event, signed baseballs by the players will be given away.

Meanwhile, the KIA Tigers will continue its sustainable ESG management beyond this one-time event. The club plans to additionally implement educational CSR (corporate social responsibility) activities where members of the Tigers Kids Club directly visit the Gwangju Jangnok Wetland in collaboration with the Ramsar Centre.

Detailed information on events related to 'Ramsar Day' can be confirmed through the KIA Tigers club's official SNS.
