How much forest has Bārān lost?
There was almost no forest around Bārān in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

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.

Frequently asked
Questions about Bārān
What is the air quality (AQI) in Bārān right now?
The latest reading for Bārān shows an AQI of 147 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), measured Nov 11, 20:30 local time by the Bamboliya, Baran - RSPCB ground monitoring station, 4.8 km away, via OpenAQ. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Bārān today?
At AQI 147 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups): children, older adults and people with asthma or heart disease should cut down long or hard exercise. Windows: close them to keep the outside air out. Masks: sensitive groups: an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Bārān been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Bārān's daily AQI at 113 on average, from 88 on Nov 8 to an hourly peak of 158 on Nov 11. On 5 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Bārān's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.
How much forest has the area around Bārān lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Bārān in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

How many more trees does Bārān need?
Bārān needs roughly 65,528 more trees to close a 21-point shortfall against its 35% tree-cover target — about 1,442 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Bārān's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Sadar Bazar, via OpenAQ; the 7-day trend is the Open-Meteo / CAMS model's estimate. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Sadar Bazar; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
