How much forest has Chhatarpur lost?
There was almost no forest around Chhatarpur 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.

Questions about Chhatarpur
What is the air quality (AQI) in Chhatarpur right now?
The latest reading for Chhatarpur shows an AQI of 109 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), observed Nov 11, 03:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 2 ground-station cities within 145 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Chhatarpur today?
At AQI 109 (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 Chhatarpur been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Chhatarpur's daily AQI at 145 on average, from 111 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 168 on Nov 7. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Chhatarpur'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 Chhatarpur lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Chhatarpur 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 Chhatarpur?
Chhatarpur has an estimated 62,204 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 19.8% tree cover, 15 percentage points short of the 35% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Chhatarpur need?
Chhatarpur needs roughly 47,752 more trees to close a 15-point shortfall against its 35% tree-cover target — about 1,051 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Chhatarpur'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 Naya Mohalla; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
