• plantlife ->largeamount of our diet
•60 – 80 % of fresh water comesfrom
mountainregions
Why is the goal important?
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
• 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
What we shouldn’t be doing
• buying products fromendangeredspecies
• consuming a lot of meat
• buying nonseasonal products fromother countries
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.
Only 1/3 of 113 countries were on track to
achieve their national goal to integrate
biodiversity into national planning.
