High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Land clearing involves the removal of native vegetation and habitats, including the bulldozing of native bushlands, forests, savannah, woodlands and native grasslands and the draining of natural wetlands for replacement with agriculture, urban and other land uses. As much as 70% of Australia's native vegetation has been cleared or modified in the past 200 years, most of which has occurred in the last 50 years. Prior to European settlement native vegetation covered most of Australia but now only 87% of the country is vegetated by native species. In total 13% of Australia's native vegetation has been lost due to land clearing, with the majority of this being native forests and woodlands. The primary motivator for land clearing in Australia is agricultural profit. The clearing of land allows for increased agricultural production and increase in land values. Land clearing was seen as progressive, and there was the general view that land waswasted unless it was developed.
