SDG 15 mural

The SDG #15 Mural is Moving to the Zoo - Join us for the re-unveiling!

SDG #15 aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.

This November 30th, the Global Philadelphia Association will be re-unveiling the SDG #15 mural, originally unveiled at Chestnut Hill College Campus in 2024, at its new home: the Philadelphia Zoo! The Philadelphia Zoo supports SDG 15 (Life on Land) mainly through conservation breeding and public engagement. It participates in national zoo conservation and breeding programs that act as safety nets for species threatened with extinction in the wild. 

SDG 17

Sustainable Development Goals

A unique, multi-layered initiative, our SDG campaign combines a creative mix of ingredients: the interpretive power of art, the knowledge and resources of our local academic communities, the strong will of corporate and individuals sponsors and more. This combined with the financial contributions to local nonprofit organizations, truly exemplifies the shared goals within our city, and the community who supports us.
