SDG 15: Life On Land

Local biodiversity included in planning and development

Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) is actively monitoring and conserving biodiversity on the Tembalang campus. Observations have shown a rapid increase in the number of flora species on campus since 2019, with more than 180 plant species from 45 families identified by 2024, including several protected species listed on the IUCN Red List.

Furthermore, 166 fauna species, including birds, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians, fish, and mammals, have been recorded—a significant increase from 64 species in 2019. The diversity index indicates that the campus ecosystem is classified as high and stable.

Through these efforts, UNDIP is establishing its campus not only as a center for education and research, but also as a conservation area that supports biodiversity conservation and the implementation of sustainable development principles.
