Next April 22nd, on the occasion of Earth Day, Inter will put their colors at the service of planet Earth, to shine the spotlight on the climate and biodiversity crises which are the main threats of our time.
The Nerazzurri club has decided to support the WWFItalia campaign "The Panda is Us" by bringing into play the "Ext1nctionNumb3rs", i.e. the numbers that unequivocally explain the natural crisis we are experiencing.
On the occasion of the Milan derby, a patch will be applied on the sleeve of each shirt of the Inter squad which tells a story or a message of mobilization linked to the number of the player wearing it.
We begin, for example, with the number 1 of the goalkeeper Sommer, who explains how "We only have 1 planet available" and move on to Thuram's number 9 shirt which will tell the story of the 9 hectares of forests that are destroyed every minute while the 10, worn by Lautaro , indicates that over the last 14 years there has been an average decline of 10% in biodiversity. On the 23rd of Barella he will denounce how the illegal trade in fauna is worth 23 billion dollars, while on the 20th of Çalhanoğlu he highlights the 20,000 deaths in Europe due to extreme heat in 2022.
Together with Thuram, Asllani and Pavard are the protagonists of the video co-produced by Inter Media House and WWF to give life to an even more impactful narrative of the project: their numbers will tell of the 28 tons of plastic dispersed in the Mediterranean every 12 hours and 21% of the total shark meat sold in Europe.
Nerazzurri vice-resident Javier Zanetti wanted to express the Club's support for the initiative: "We are very proud of this collaboration which allows us to act as a sounding board on a very important issue. The language of sport, its universal values, manage to promote change and reach the hearts of millions of fans.
We are certain that this appeal will not go unheard."
