How much forest has Botad lost?
There was almost no forest around Botad 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 Botad
What is the air quality (AQI) in Botad right now?
The latest reading for Botad shows an AQI of 91 (Moderate), observed Nov 11, 03:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 2 ground-station cities within 105 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Botad today?
At AQI 91 (Moderate): fine for most people; unusually sensitive people should take long or hard exercise easier. Windows: fine to open; close them if you are sensitive to pollution. Masks: not needed for most people. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Botad been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Botad's daily AQI at 76 on average, from 68 on Nov 10 to an hourly peak of 96 on Nov 5. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Botad'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 Botad lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Botad 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.
What is the tree count in Botad?
Botad has an estimated 38,327 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 12.2% tree cover, 18 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Botad need?
Botad needs roughly 55,920 more trees to close a 18-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,230 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Botad'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 Ramnagar; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
