Carbon emissions resulting from deforestation are estimated according to four scenarios of land use following clearance NO ranging from complete loss of biomass to pasture, crop, or oil palm development on a regional basis. Regions where protected areas are simultaneously rich in carbon and under pressure from land cover change are identified. DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 17, 2026
