. Carbon emissions from forest loss in protected areas. Regional patterns of estimated forest loss in protected areas were influenced not only by deforestation pressures, but by the nature of the protected areas themselves (and the effectiveness with which they were managed). In all regions forest loss was mostly concentrated near the edges of protected areas (Figure 10). Across the humid tropics, strictly protected areas (IUCN management categories III) lost less of their forest area () between 2000 and 2005 than the whole range of protected areas (; Figure 7, Table 4), which includ

Across the humid tropics, strictly protected areas (IUCN management categories III) lost less of their forest area () between 2000 and 2005 than the whole range of protected areas (; Figure 7, Table 4), which included areas designated for various forms of resource exploitation. Strictly protected areas in humid tropical Africa had the lowest estimated rates of forest loss (; Figure 9). A high proportion of protected areas permitting resource use ( forest reserves) may help to explain the higher proportion of estimated forest loss from within the full range of African protected areas compared to outside Afrotropic.
