Samarkand State Medical University (SSMU) is dedicated to advancing SDG 15: Life on Land, emphasizing the importance of protecting, restoring, and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. Our university actively participates in biodiversity conservation, ecological research, and community education to support sustainable land use and conservation efforts. We are committed to transparency in these efforts and regularly publish updates on our progress toward achieving SDG 15.
Annual SDG 15 Progress Reports
SSMU publishes an annual report detailing our contributions to biodiversity conservation, sustainable land management, and ecosystem restoration: Biodiversity and Conservation Metrics: Our report includes data on species conservation projects, afforestation efforts, and habitat protection initiatives, providing insights into our impact on local and regional ecosystems. Project Highlights and Case Studies: We showcase specific projects, such as tree planting, wildlife protection, and ecological restoration, demonstrating our commitment to preserving terrestrial biodiversity.
Research on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health
SSMU’s faculty and researchers engage in ecological studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of terrestrial ecosystems: Our research initiatives focus on understanding and mitigating threats to native species and ecosystems, including studies on land degradation, habitat fragmentation, and reforestation. SSMU partners with government agencies and conservation groups on projects that address critical issues such as deforestation, wildlife protection, and ecosystem restoration.
Campus Initiatives for Sustainable Land Use
SSMU has implemented sustainable practices across our campus to promote land conservation and biodiversity: We have established green spaces with native flora on campus, providing a habitat for local wildlife and promoting biodiversity in an urban environment. Our landscaping includes water-efficient gardening and reduced pesticide use to support soil health and protect surrounding ecosystems.
SSMU integrates land conservation education into its academic programs and outreach efforts to raise awareness on the importance of sustainable ecosystems: We offer academic programs focused on ecology, biodiversity, and sustainable land use, equipping students with knowledge and skills for conservation work. SSMU organizes workshops, tree planting events, and biodiversity awareness campaigns to educate students, faculty, and local communities about the importance of preserving terrestrial ecosystems.
Public Access to Reports and Data
All SDG 15-related reports are accessible on our website, providing transparent communication of our impact on land conservation: In addition to the annual report, we publish quarterly updates on conservation initiatives, afforestation projects, and ecological research activities. SDG 15 Dashboard: Our SDG dashboard displays real-time data on biodiversity conservation efforts, tree planting activities, and habitat restoration, allowing stakeholders to track our progress toward SDG 15.
