This scorecard assesses and scores a range of factors that are important to Australia shifting from a global deforestation hotspot to a reforestation nation, by becoming a world leader in tree protection and restoration.

This paper offers policy-makers a blueprint for assessing the true value of native forests. It builds upon the previously published cost-benefit analysis of alternate land uses versus logging in Victoria’s Central Highlands.

Australia is home to some of the world’s most ancient forests. This paper offers policy-makers a blueprint for assessing the true value of our native forests. Recognising the inherent preferencing of the quantitative (particularly when it comes to Expenditure Review Committee processes), the authors conduct a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of conserving the wet forests in...
