About 1,580 ha from 2001 to 2025, 1% of the forest it had in 2000, from the University of Maryland's yearly satellite maps of forest loss. 1,030 ha of it was cleared for good, for farms, mines or towns.

Esna, with 44.1% tree cover within 2 km of its center, measured from Sentinel-2 satellite images.

Each city's reading is the US EPA air quality index, from ground monitoring stations where one has reported recently nearby, and from the CAMS atmospheric model elsewhere; each city's report says which. Tree cover is measured over the same 2 km radius in every city, so the cities compare like for like.
