Lovely Professional University is having abundance of multifunctional parks and green areas, which are located across the campus. University’s focus is on the responsible management of the campus land resources. Overarching goal is to address the global issues of land degradation, habitat loss, and the unsustainable use of land resources. Using land in a manner that meets the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations. The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things within the biosphere that have evolved naturally for millions of years: landscapes, oceans, water, atmosphere and biodiversity. A healthy natural environment enables the flourishing of human life and is essential to our wellbeing. However, the natural environment has been altered at a large scale in the modern world by human actions. LPU has plenty of green spaces and gardens which are open to all students, faculty and other stakeholders. The University has a commitment to social and environmental responsibility to manage, maintain and improve the natural elements found on the campus by conservation, restoration and optimum use of terrestrial ecosystems. LPU has its strength in environmental education and research, as well as contributing to greater awareness of the importance of sound environmental management in the broader community.

The scope of these guidelines is to provide a roadmap for the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems by planning and implementing various strategies risk assessment and environmental protection. This can be achieved through restoration of trees & plants, habitat restoration, and soil rehabilitation as well as by contributing in research.

1. Measuring, monitoring and reporting of the issues related to terrestrial ecosystem and biodiversity.
2. Integrate and implement environmental management practices to support, conserve and restore the ecosystem, biodiversity, natural habitat and promote sustainability practices into our day-to-day operations.
3. Ensure optimum land use, water management, and the conservation of natural resources.
4. Protection and conservation of biodiversity in forests, mountains, and drylands by conducting research on species and ecosystems, and implementing conservation measures.
5. Minimising the use of non-renewable energy resources to control excessive pollution.
6. Protecting biodiversity by maintaining habitat health and enhancing biodiversity by improving habitats to maximise biodiversity.
7. Promoting tree plantation and restoration.
8. To promote sustainable land management in campus emphasizing responsible agriculture, grazing, and land development to prevent soil degradation and erosion.
9. To identify and protect critical habitats in the ecosystems, ensuring the survival of endangered species and the overall health of the environment.
10. To develop and implement measures for the conservation of soil and reducing soil erosion and land degradation.

1. Prioritizing research in the concerned area of ecosystem and biodiversity.
2. Supporting terrestrial ecosystem through:
2.1. Renewable energy
2.2. Traditional agriculture practices and sustainable farming/organic farming for reducing the use of pesticides
2.3. Weed control
2.4. Planting trees
2.5. Cultivation of different species/variety of flora
3. Inclusion of courses and programmes related to the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystem.
4. Provide training and capacity-building programs for students and researchers to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to actively participate in maintain of greener areas and restoration efforts.
5. University has to develop long-term plans and monitoring systems to ensure the continued success of conservation, restoration, and sustainable land use initiatives.
6. University should plan awareness programs related to biodiversity in adopted villages and nearby communities.
