SDG 15 - Life on land
Protecting life on land is essential to allow human, animal and plant life to flourish. Harmful activities such as deforestation and land degradation are damaging our ecosystems. Protecting, restoring, and promoting the sustainable use of land is essential to survival.
Many LJMU projects focus on protecting Life on Land. For example, we’ve applied groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology to promoting wildlife conservation and we’ve led international research projects to protect endangered species in Indonesia. On campus, we’re creating green spaces for staff and students. Across the Liverpool City Region, we’re working with local authorities to put nature at the heart of city planning.
