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.
