Deforestation
This is why we need new laws to protect wildlife and the environment.
Australia is one of the worst developed countries in the world for broadscale deforestation—killing tens of millions of native animals (including threatened species) and wiping out endangered forests and woodlands. In fact, we’ve cleared nearly half of our forest cover in the last 200 years!
...and why we need new nature laws now.
