Social awareness of environmental issues can be instilled through education. However, there are still some students who lack awareness of environmental conservation. This study aims to examine the implementation of the SDG “Life on Land” in social studies education, the challenges associated with its implementation, and the implications of implementing the SDG “Life on Land” through social studies education to enhance social awareness of environmental conservation. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data collection techniques include semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis utilized the interactive data analysis model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. Additionally, data validity was verified through methodological triangulation, source triangulation, temporal triangulation, and researcher commitment. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the “Life on Land” SDG in social studies education has led to a gradual increase in students’ social awareness regarding environmental conservation.
