Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Bharatpur grew from about 518 hectares to 581 hectares, a net gain of about 63 hectares (+12%). New forest grew on about 177 hectares, while 114 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.

Frequently asked
Questions about Bharatpur
What is the air quality (AQI) in Bharatpur right now?
The latest reading for Bharatpur shows an AQI of 395 (Hazardous), measured Nov 11, 19:30 local time by the Krishna Nagar, Bharatpur - RSPCB ground monitoring station, 1.9 km away, via OpenAQ. The main pollutant is PM10. Emergency conditions — avoid outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Bharatpur today?
At AQI 395 (Hazardous): everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion. Windows: keep them closed and seal gaps. Masks: wear an N95 if you must go out. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Bharatpur been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Bharatpur's daily AQI at 205 on average, from 167 on Nov 9 to an hourly peak of 274 on Nov 5. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Bharatpur'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 Bharatpur lost since 2001?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Bharatpur has lost about 97 hectares of forest (about 140 football pitches): 24% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it (68%) was deforestation, forest cleared for good, mainly for farms, pasture and plantations. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Bharatpur grew from about 518 hectares to 581 hectares, a net gain of about 63 hectares (+12%). New forest grew on about 177 hectares, while 114 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Bharatpur?
Bharatpur has an estimated 22,773 trees across the 12.48 km² of land measured — 7.3% tree cover, 38 percentage points short of the 45% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Bharatpur need?
Bharatpur needs roughly 117,609 more trees to close a 38-point shortfall against its 45% tree-cover target — about 2,587 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Bharatpur's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Pai Bagh, 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 Pai Bagh; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
