Percentage of forest carbon stocks lost within protected areas during 2000- 2005 according to scenario 1 where it is assumed that forest clearance results in complete biomass loss. Low levels of visible carbon loss in the Afrotropics (Figure 15) were in part due to the aforementioned difficulties of detecting deforestation in this region. For the scenarios involving complete biomass loss or pasture conversion, protected areas in Tropical Asia lost the highest percentage of their carbon stocks ( - ; Figure 13; Figure 16), but the scenarios involving development of oil palm plantations showed much smaller estimated carbon loss in the region because of the relatively large amount of carbon stored in palm plantations (Table 6). However, scenarios 3 and 4 are likely to be underestimates as plantation development is likely to have been more limited in protected areas than in the region as a whole. While such uncertainties mean that these scenarios are a poor substitute for reliable data on land use change within protected areas, they provide a basis for calculating the range of possible emissions over the period 2000-2005. 22.
