Chart: Forest cover in Swaziland, 1990-2005
Chart: Other wooded land cover in Swaziland, 1990-2005
table: Potential for REDD in terms of avoided deforestation in Swaziland Assumes 100% reduction in deforestation, fully compensated, using FAO carbon estimates for above ground biomass. FAO's carbon estimates are very rough
