SDG 15 · Indicator 15.3.5

Community collaboration on land ecosystems

The “Basic Forest Volunteer Training” record identifies educational cooperation with Istanbul Regional Directorate of Forestry. It supports inter-institutional knowledge exchange on forest conservation and student volunteering.

However, the reviewed records did not verify habitat conservation, forest restoration or land improvement implemented with local communities. Educational cooperation has not been equated with completed field-based ecosystem management. A partnership document, work programme and outcome record identifying the community and site would strengthen the evidence.
