Sustainable Development Goal 15 focuses on protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of land-based ecosystems. It aims to reduce deforestation, prevent biodiversity loss, and stop land degradation. Forests, which cover nearly one-third of the Earth’s surface, are home to most of the world’s plants and animals and play a crucial role in maintaining climate balance. However, human activities such as illegal logging, rapid urbanization, pollution, and agriculture are destroying natural habitats and pushing many species toward extinction. SDG 15 also addresses issues like soil erosion, desertification, and wildlife trafficking, which threaten both the environment and human life. To achieve this goal, countries must promote afforestation, restore damaged land, create protected wildlife areas, and enforce strict laws against poaching and habitat destruction. Community awareness, sustainable farming practices, and international cooperation are also essential. Protecting life on land ensures clean air, fertile soil, climate stability, and survival of future generations, making SDG 15 a vital step toward a healthier planet.
