Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Bandar Tasik Puteri shrank from about 23,000 hectares to 18,500 hectares, a net loss of about 4,530 hectares (−20%). New forest grew on about 2,150 hectares, but 6,680 hectares were lost.
These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.
These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

What has the air quality in Bandar Tasik Puteri been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Bandar Tasik Puteri's daily AQI at 92 on average, from 83 on Nov 7 to an hourly peak of 165 on Nov 6. On 1 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Bandar Tasik Puteri's AQI the same as Malaysia's API (IPU)?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. Malaysia's Department of Environment (Jabatan Alam Sekitar) publishes its own Air Pollutant Index, the API or Indeks Pencemar Udara (IPU), every hour for each of its monitoring stations on APIMS (apims.doe.gov.my). Both scales call 0–50 good and 51–100 moderate; above that the IPU runs 101–200 unhealthy, 201–300 very unhealthy and over 300 hazardous. The two use different breakpoints and averaging times, so the numbers for the same hour often differ. For the official IPU reading, check the nearest station on APIMS.
