Vegetation clearing - 2004Home | Human Settlement | Infrastructure services and resources | Vegetation Clearing | 2004 What does the Data tell us for 2000/2004Vegetation clearing throughout the Shoalhaven has occurred disproportionately on the rich agricultural land, floodplain and coastal environment leaving the higher escarpment areas vegetated. Clearing of native vegetation is recognised as a major factor contributing to the loss of biodiversity. The Shoalhaven Local Government Area (LGA) does not have a formal process to measure the amount of vegetation clearing occurring. The amount of land mapped as cleared is 52,566 hectares which is 11% of the total LGA. Home | Human Settlement | Infrastructure services and resources | Vegetation Clearing | 2004
