About RRC-EA Wetland Fund 2024

The Ramsar Regional Center – East Asia (RRC-EA) is one of the regional initiatives formally recognized by the Ramsar Convention. As a Ramsar Regional Initiative (RRI), the RRC-EA was established through the initiative of the Ministry of Environment (MOE) of the Republic of Korea to serve as a regional platform for capacity building, information exchange, and cooperation among governments, Ramsar Site and wetland managers and stakeholders, international and national non-government organizations, technical experts and business organizations.

In 2009, the RRC-EA officially started operations in Changwon City with support from the MOE and the Gyeongnam Provincial Government. In January 2016, the RRC-EA office relocated to Suncheon City, after the signing of a 5-year Memorandum of Understanding between the MOE, Suncheon City and the RRC-EA.
