SDG 15

SDG 15 aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. This goal focuses on halting deforestation, combating desertification, halting the loss of biodiversity, and protecting endangered species. It encourages sustainable land management, the conservation of natural habitats, and the restoration of ecosystems that provide essential services, such as clean air, water, and food. SDG 15 underscores the need to combat climate change impacts on land and preserve natural environments for future generations. By protecting life on land, we ensure the health and resilience of ecosystems that support all life on Earth.
