Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Depok shrank from about 13,000 hectares to 12,200 hectares, a net loss of about 787 hectares (−6.1%). New forest grew on about 225 hectares, but 1,010 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.

The main pollutant is PM2.5. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Depok today?
At AQI 195 (Unhealthy): everyone should cut down long or hard exercise; sensitive groups should avoid it. Windows: keep them closed. Masks: wear an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Depok been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Depok's daily AQI at 170 on average, from 157 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 256 on Nov 3. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Depok's AQI the same as Indonesia's ISPU?
No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. Indonesia's official index is the ISPU (Indeks Standar Pencemar Udara), published by the environment ministry from its own monitoring stations. Its bands are 0–50 Baik (good), 51–100 Sedang (moderate), 101–200 Tidak Sehat (unhealthy), 201–300 Sangat Tidak Sehat (very unhealthy) and over 300 Berbahaya (hazardous). The two indexes use different breakpoints and averaging times, so the same air can score differently on each.
How much forest has the area around Depok lost since 2001?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Depok has lost about 75 hectares of forest (about 100 football pitches): 1.5% of the forest it had in 2000. Most of it (64%) was deforestation, forest cleared for good, mainly for towns and roads. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Depok shrank from about 13,000 hectares to 12,200 hectares, a net loss of about 787 hectares (−6.1%).

How many more trees does Depok need?
Depok needs roughly 76,821 more trees to close a 25-point shortfall against its 40% tree-cover target — about 1,690 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Depok's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Depok, 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 Depok; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
