SDG 15: Life on Land

SDG 15 promotes learning about biodiversity, forests, land ecosystems, and conservation, encouraging responsible actions that protect nature and restore degraded environments.

Teaching and Learning

Integrated biodiversity conservation, ecosystem protection, and sustainable land use in curriculum (Biology, Environmental Science, BSN, THM, Education, GenEd) Embedded environmental ethics and sustainability principles in OBE-aligned programs Promoted student projects on reforestation, land conservation, and sustainable agriculture Utilized local context (Tagaytay ecosystems) in case studies and field-based learning

What starts with young hands and simple efforts can grow into a lasting impact—nurturing plants, protecting our environment, and inspiring a future rooted in sustainability.
