Hasanuddin University is committed to supporting the achievement of SDG 15 through the implementation of various educational programs related to ecosystems of wild flora and fauna, targeting both local communities and national audiences. One of the key initiatives is the Bengo-Bengo Education Forest, which serves as a center for forestry education and research, as well as a learning facility on ecosystems for students, researchers, and the public.

The Faculty of Forestry Unhas has also developed several educational platforms, including the establishment of study programs of Conservation Forestry and Forest Engineering, which offer public lectures and training sessions on topics including biodiversity, mangrove utilization, bioprospecting, and the use of e-DNA. In addition, the faculty collaborates with San Diego State University and Georgia State University on research related to human–Macaca maura interactions in Sulawesi. The results of this research have been presented in public lectures at Unhas. In addition, Unhas also partners with conservation organizations such as Tarsius Indonesia to raise community awareness of the importance of preserving Sulawesi’s endemic wildlife.

Through these various activities, Unhas not only enhances the academic capacity of its students but also empowers local communities to engage in sustainable biodiversity conservation.
