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.

This stark, simple image of a tree against a bright sky captures the spirit of our black and white photography project. Without the distraction of color, we are able to focus on the strong lines and delicate branches that define its shape. It’s a powerful example of how much we can see when we are encouraged to look differently at the world around us. Photo: Jamie Bell

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.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out today!
