SDG 15

Examples of UN SDG 15: Life on Land in Action

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.

Lupin leaves glisten with morning dew in a thriving patch of wild greenery in Northwestern Ontario. Known for their striking palmate shape and soft, slightly fuzzy texture, these native perennials do more than add visual interest—they actively restore the land. As nitrogen-fixers, lupins enrich depleted soils, making them valuable allies in regenerative agriculture and wildland restoration.

These early white blossoms belong to the Saskatoon bush (Amelanchier alnifolia), one of the boreal forest’s most generous and resilient plants. For generations, Saskatoon berries have nourished communities, supported pollinators, and thrived in northern climates. This year, we're proud to be adding Saskatoon bushes to our food production project—deepening our connection to the land, strengthening local food systems, and honouring traditional knowledge through action.

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
