Published Progress – SDG15 (Life on Land)   [17.3.15]

Public reporting on university progress and performance related to SDG15 (Life on Land).


The “Published Progress – SDG15” focus area at PTUK focuses on documenting initiatives aimed at protecting, restoring, and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. PTUK implements applied research, educational programs, and community outreach projects on forest restoration, biodiversity conservation, land management, and desertification prevention. These initiatives contribute to ecological balance, promote sustainable agriculture, and enhance awareness about the importance of terrestrial ecosystem health.

Publishing progress under this focus area supports SDG17 by fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing with government agencies, NGOs, local communities, and international institutions. PTUK disseminates research findings, case studies, and technical reports to inform policy, promote evidence-based conservation strategies, and facilitate replication of successful interventions. Documentation strengthens institutional capacity and enables coordinated actions to sustain land resources.

Through this focus area, PTUK integrates research, education, and community engagement to protect terrestrial ecosystems and promote responsible land-use practices. Publicly sharing outcomes ensures transparency, builds multi-stakeholder partnerships, and fosters collaboration at local, regional, and international levels. By linking academic research with practical conservation interventions, PTUK contributes to both SDG15 and the broader objectives of SDG17, promoting sustainable management of land and biodiversity through coordinated and collaborative approaches.
