WWF-Australia's Trees Scorecard exposes inadequate forest restoration in NSW and QLD, with NSW scoring the lowest at 24%.

The World Wide Fund for Nature-Australia has released Australia's first national Trees Scorecard to assess which states and territories are leading in protecting and restoring trees.

New South Wales and Queensland ranked Very Poor in the scorecard, making them Australia's worst clearers of trees.

Australia has the highest rate of deforestation in the developed world.

The scorecard assesses how all jurisdictions, state, territory, and federal, are performing in forest protection and restoration.

No state ranked higher than average, prompting WWF-Australia to call for strong leadership to halt and reverse forest loss.
