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” GlobalGoals.org

Our ‘Life on Land’ signs showcase the native bird species that frequently visit the campus and provide us with a unique teaching opportunity to highlight the importance of preserving natural habitats for future generations. Together, let’s support Earth Day and #RestoreOurEarth!
