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

What has the air quality in Djibouti been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Djibouti's daily AQI at 55 on average, from 40 on Nov 11 to an hourly peak of 77 on Nov 7. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.
How much forest has the area around Djibouti lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Djibouti 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 Djibouti?
Djibouti has an estimated 4,901 trees across the 8.17 km² of land measured — 2.4% tree cover, 28 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Djibouti need?
Djibouti needs roughly 56,360 more trees to close a 28-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,240 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Djibouti'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 Djibouti; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
