SDG 15 : Life on Land

SDG 15 aims to protect, restore, sustainably manage terrestrial ecosystems and stopping the biodiversity loss. It focuses on preventing desertification, restoring degraded land, conserving forests, and safeguarding biodiversity.
UNIMAS  actively promotes the conservation of land ecosystems through education, fostering awareness and knowledge about the significance of these ecosystems within its community. UNIMAS goes beyond awareness and takes concrete actions to support land ecosystems, engaging in conservation efforts and research to protect terrestrial biodiversity and preserve natural habitats.
