Dear all, 

I am currently working on mapping some forest areas in ethiopia and have experimented now with some projections here (Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area and African Albert Equal Area Cone) and have for my forest drastic differences in 3D surface calculation. My question for you now, if you can help me, would be, if you can help me in finding out what would be the most accurate projection for this case

Maybe I can just show you the calculations in ha
