The integration of SDGs, especially goals 14 and 15 about biodiversity, in higher education has been implemented in countries around the world, including Indonesia. The Animal Systematics course, which covers material on biodiversity, has implemented PjBL activities but has never conducted research to examine the results of it to provide biodiversity-oriented sustainability values in the Animal Systematics course. Given this background, the research problem was formulated as follows: How was the implementation and effectiveness of the PjBL Learning Model in providing biodiversity-oriented sustainability values in the Animal Systematics course? The research method was to conduct a case study on the implementation of the PjBL Learning Model to provide biodiversity-oriented sustainability values in the Animal Systematics Course by following these steps: Determining the Theme, Topic, and Case Conducting a Literature Review; Formulating the Research Focus and Problems; Collecting Data; Processing Data; Analyzing Data; Conducting Confirmability or Triangulation of Findings; Drawing Research Conclusions. The result was the implementation of the PjBL learning model to provide biodiversity-oriented sustainability values in the Animal Systematics course through independent research project activities, which shows that all activities have been carried out as planned (100% completed). During the implementation of PjBL learning in the course with independent research project activities, the research results descriptively show several examples of the achievement of sustainability values. These results indicate that this learning model is effective in providing sustainability values related to biodiversity. The research conclusion showed that this learning activity strongly supports the achievement of SDGs 14 and 15. © 2025 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
