Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage
forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater
ecosystems and their services, in particular forests,
wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with
obligations under international agreements

15.1.2 Proportion of important sites for terrestrial and
freshwater biodiversity that are covered by protected
areas, by ecosystem type
15.2 By 2020, promote the implementation of
sustainable management of all types of forests, halt
increase afforestation and reforestation globally
15.2.1 Progress towards sustainable forest
deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially
15.3 By 2030, combat desertification, restore degraded
land and soil, including land affected by desertification,
drought and floods, and strive to achieve a land
degradation-neutral world
15.3.1 Proportion of land that is degraded over total
land area
15.4 By 2030, ensure the conservation of mountain
ecosystems, including their biodiversity, in order to
enhance their capacity to provide benefits that are
essential for sustainable development
15.4.1 Coverage by protected areas of important sites
for mountain biodiversity
15.4.2 Mountain Green Cover Index
15.5 Take urgent and significant action to reduce the
degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of
biodiversity and, by 2020, protect and prevent the
extinction of threatened species
15.5.1 Red List Index
15.6 Promote fair and equitable sharing of the benefits
arising from the utilization of genetic resources and
promote appropriate access to such resources, as
internationally agreed
15.6.1 Number of countries that have adopted
legislative, administrative and policy frameworks to
ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits
15.7 Take urgent action to end poaching and trafficking
of protected species of flora and fauna and address both
demand and supply of illegal wildlife products
15.7.1 Proportion of traded wildlife that was poached
or illicitly trafficked
15.8 By 2020, introduce measures to prevent the
introduction and significantly reduce the impact of
invasive alien species on land and water ecosystems and
control or eradicate the priority species
15.8.1 Proportion of countries adopting relevant
national legislation and adequately resourcing the
prevention or control of invasive alien species
15.9 By 2020, integrate ecosystem and biodiversity
values into national and local planning, development
processes, poverty reduction strategies and accounts
15.9.1 Progress towards national targets established in
accordance with Aichi Biodiversity Target 2 of the
Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020

resources from all sources to conserve and sustainably
use biodiversity and ecosystems
15.a.1 Official development assistance and public
expenditure on conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity and ecosystems

and at all levels to finance sustainable forest
management and provide adequate incentives to
developing countries to advance such management,
including for conservation and reforestation
15.b.1 Official development assistance and public
expenditure on conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity and ecosystems

poaching and trafficking of protected species, including
by increasing the capacity of local communities to
pursue sustainable livelihood opportunities
