Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15), “Life on Land,” is crucial to the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This goal focuses on protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, managing forests sustainably, combating desertification, halting and reversing land degradation, and halting biodiversity loss. SDG 15 is essential for maintaining the health of our planet, as land ecosystems are the foundation for biodiversity, food security, and climate regulation. SDG 15 plays a vital role in environmental sustainability by ensuring that land and natural resources are managed to support long-term ecological balance. Forests, which cover about 31% of the Earth’s land area, are home to over 80% of terrestrial species and provide essential services such as carbon sequestration, water purification, and soil stabilization. Achieving SDG 15 is critical for mitigating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and supporting livelihoods, particularly in rural and indigenous communities.
