SDG 15: Life On Land
The University of Mindanao actively supports the preservation and protection of biodiversity, recognizing the importance of maintaining a balanced ecosystem for both plants and animals. Green spaces across the campus are maintained not only for aesthetic purposes but also as safe habitats for various forms of life. Through tree planting activities, proper waste management, and responsible landscaping practices, the university helps sustain native plant species and minimize harm to wildlife. These actions reflect UM’s broader commitment to environmental stewardship.
