SDG 15 - Life on land
A flourishing life on land is the foundation for our life on this planet. We are all part of the planet’s ecosystem and we have caused severe damage to it through deforestation, loss of natural habitats and land degradation. Promoting a sustainable use of our ecosystems and preserving biodiversity is not a cause, it is the key to our own survival.
LJMU’s commitment and research efforts to protect life on land are global. Artificial intelligence technology using animal recognition techniques is aiding wildlife conservation, including tracking and protecting some of the world’s most elusive animals, like the pangolin. Our international research projects are also protecting endangered species in Indonesia, while across the Liverpool City Region, we’re working with local authorities to put nature at the heart of city planning.
