All Sustainable Development Goals
What is SDG 15?
SDG 15, Life on Land, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda. It aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and to halt biodiversity loss, and it covers forests, land degradation, and the protection of threatened species and their habitats.
What do wildlife and conservation charities do?
Wildlife and conservation charities work on protecting land ecosystems and the species that live in them. Typical work includes:
- Protecting and managing habitats: forests, wetlands, grasslands, and nature reserves
- Reforestation and tree planting, from community woodlots to large-scale forest restoration
- Conserving endangered species through anti-poaching work, breeding programs, and habitat corridors
- Promoting sustainable land use and combating land degradation
- Wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and sanctuary care
- Biodiversity research, monitoring, and conservation education
How to check a conservation charity before you give
The same rules apply to conservation charities as to any other: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Forest charities and endangered species organizations differ enormously in scale, but every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors.
