Causes for 2025 are estimates, based on what caused forest loss in the same places up to 2024.

- Forest in 2020

- Overall change
- +474 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Bogra grew from about 7,200 hectares to 7,680 hectares, a net gain of about 474 hectares (+6.6%). New forest grew on about 519 hectares, while 45 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.

How many more trees does Bogra need?
Bogra has already reached its tree-cover target, so no additional trees are needed to close the gap.
How are Bogra's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors. 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 Badurtola; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
