Middle school students can contribute to SDG 15, Life on Land, by donating to charities that help conserve and restore land to prevent deforestation and ecosystem destruction.

Charities need money and could really benefit from donations. A lot of the things they do like hiring people to buying land which they conserve, which is the type that is being focused on, all cost money. When you donate, these charities really benefit from it even if its not a lot, they still use the money and still benefit from donations.

Donating is very easy for people to do usually. All a middle school student has to do is ask their parents or maybe go to a government site for an official agency if that is possible. This can make things approachable for middle school students along with picking up trash to start off small.

Lastly, most charities will use the money for good and the money not only benefits them but the environment. When these charities get money, they are more capable of buying and preserving land, starting activism, or, if it is a government agency like the National Park Service, be able to convert more land to national parks or making new regulations or some other thing that will benefit the environment. For example, the NPS may use the money to help fund their tours, which can teach people about the environment and how to help it, which can prevent them from doing damage to trees, etc.

Although many groups out there may pretend to be charities or may not do enough to help, or may be corrupt, there are still many different charities that are trustworthy, and even government agencies that do the same job charities do.
