SDG 15 - Life on Land

Introduction

At Redeemer's University, our mission for Sustainable Development Goal 15: Life on Land is to promote the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. We are dedicated to maintaining and extending biodiversity within existing ecosystems, working through our committed researchers who focus on ecosystem restoration and land conservation.

Our educational programs raise awareness on the importance of ecosystem preservation and the role of biodiversity in sustaining life on land. We also collaborate with local and global partners to share knowledge and best practices for managing shared land ecosystems, ensuring sustainable outcomes for future generations.

The article reviews methods for detecting wood decay and cavities in living trees, emphasizing both invasive and noninvasive techniques, such as microwave scanning and X-ray tomography. These methods are crucial for forest conservation, as early detection of decay helps prevent tree failure and supports ecosystem stability. By promoting sustainable forest management and the preservation of biodiversity, this research contributes to the fulfillment of Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15), which focuses on protecting terrestrial ecosystems.

The article focuses on the molecular characterization of Libyodrilus violaceous, an earthworm species from oil-polluted soils in Nigeria. It highlights the role of earthworms as bioindicators in assessing soil health, especially in areas impacted by pollution. By exploring the species' ability to tolerate heavy metal contamination, this study contributes to environmental conservation efforts and sustainable land management practices, which are crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15), focused on protecting terrestrial ecosystems. The research emphasizes the importance of biodiversity in soil health and restoration. For more details, refer to Ogunlaja et al. (2020) in Molecular Biology Research Communications
