SDG 15 emphasizes protecting forests, combating desertification, restoring degraded land, and conserving biodiversity. For Pakistan, with its fragile ecosystems, the challenge is urgent.

Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and are critical for regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining billions of livelihoods.

For Pakistan, with its 1,000 km coastline along the Arabian Sea, marine pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change pose growing threats. Islamic principles of stewardship, justice, and balance provide a guiding framework for restoring the health of oceans and ensuring their benefits for future generations.
