Leonardo DiCaprio has criticized Queensland for its deforestation practices.
The Hollywood star and environmental activist, 49, took to Facebook on Friday after a University of Queensland study found that an emissions reduction report from the National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS) could be erroneous and based on unreliable data.
In its findings, the University of Queensland heavily criticized the NCAS for significantly underestimating deforestation in the state.
“An independent study has found that Australia’s national carbon accounting system may be significantly underestimating deforestation in Queensland,” DiCaprio began his post.
“In Queensland, where about 44% of the national cattle herd grazes and most land clearing has occurred, officials have recorded deforestation at almost double the rate of the national system used to calculate emissions from the industry”.

‘The Australian government has promised to prevent further extinctions. Conservationists continue to encourage them to maintain their commitment to zero extinction,” he wrote.
“The only way to protect hundreds of threatened Australian forest species is to end logging of native forests across Australia and Tasmania,” he urged.
