SDG 15 focuses on protecting and restoring terrestrial ecosystems. It addresses issues like desertification caused by overgrazing, habitat loss driving animal extinction with 150 species lost every day, and deforestation intensifying climate change. Achieving the goal requires indicators like forest area proportion, degraded land proportion, and endangered wildlife trade. Actions to support the goal include breeding programs, tree planting projects, laws protecting nature, and reducing consumption of endangered species and non-seasonal imported goods. Progress is measured using indicators like forest area and threatened species.

- 3. • plantlife ->largeamount of our diet •60 – 80 % of fresh water comesfrom mountainregions Why is the goal important?
- 4. How do you measure the goal? • Indicators: •Forest area as a proportion of the total land area •Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area •Proportion of traded wildlife •Red listindex
- 5. • China built a ‘green wall‘ to stop desertification •Breeding programs • projects to plant trees • Charities • laws to protect nature • open stores where youbring your own container • breeding programs • projects to plant trees •Charities Germany Other countries
- 6. What we shouldn’t be doing • buying products fromendangeredspecies • consuming a lot of meat • buying nonseasonal products fromother countries
- 7. What can we do to help? •Recycle paper, glass, plastic,metaland old electronics •Find a Goal 15 charityyou want to support •Clean yourlocal parks and forests.
- 8. Only 1/3 of 113 countries were on track to achieve their national goal to integrate biodiversity into national planning.
- 9. Thank you Does anyone have any questions?
