Australia's largest carbon offset project, which claims to regenerate native forests in uncleared areas, is failing and may be referred to the National Anti-Corruption Commission. These human-induced regeneration projects do not involve tree planting but rely on reducing livestock and feral animal numbers to induce regeneration from soil seed stock. However, a recent study found that tree cover in these projects barely increased, suggesting that the credited sequestration is not real, additional, or permanent. The Clean Energy Regulator allowed these projects to include uncleared lands with pre-existing mature trees in their credited areas, which is unlawful and undermines the integrity of the carbon offset scheme.
