Investigation links Australian deforestation to beef farming and major bank loans
ACF's latest report, "Bulldozers and Broken Promises ," an investigation into deforestation, has ruffled a few feathers. But someone has to do it.
AI Summary
The Australian Conservation Foundation’s new report, “Bulldozers and Broken Promises,” examines the country’s deforestation crisis. It finds that roughly 400,000 hectares (about 988,000 acres) of forest and woodland are cleared each year. Much of this clearing occurs without regulation and is largely driven by a small group of beef farmers. The investigation highlights the scale of unmonitored land clearing linked to livestock production.
