Video Description: This video was created to promote the 15th UN SDG, Life on Land which focuses on the conservation of animals and ecosystem sustainability.

This is inappropriate as animals are a part of the land ecosystem and deserve the freedom to contribute to the development of ecosystems. Therefore, the second video will focus on the alternatives to conserve animals and educate the public.
