Sustainable Development Goal 15, "Life on Land," is dedicated to protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and halting biodiversity loss. The goal encompasses efforts to combat desertification, land degradation, and deforestation, which threaten the diversity of life on land. SDG 15 emphasizes the conservation and restoration of forests, the promotion of sustainable land management, and the protection of wildlife habitats. By 2030, this goal aims to halt the loss of biodiversity and restore degraded land, ensuring the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. With twelve targets and fourteen indicators, SDG 15 monitors progress in areas such as forest area, protected areas, and the extinction risk of species. By preserving biodiversity, promoting sustainable land practices, and combating land degradation, SDG 15 supports the well-being of ecosystems and communities that depend on them.
