How much forest has Guna lost?
There was almost no forest around Guna 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 Guna
What is the air quality (AQI) in Guna right now?
The latest reading for Guna shows an AQI of 168 (Unhealthy), observed Nov 11, 02:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 3 ground-station cities within 165 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Everyone should limit long outdoor exertion; sensitive groups more so.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Guna today?
At AQI 168 (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 Guna been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Guna's daily AQI at 99 on average, from 76 on Nov 5 to an hourly peak of 152 on Nov 10. On 3 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Guna'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 Guna lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Guna 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 Guna?
Guna has an estimated 69,115 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 22.0% tree cover, 18 percentage points short of the 40% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Guna need?
Guna needs roughly 56,549 more trees to close a 18-point shortfall against its 40% tree-cover target — about 1,244 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Guna'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 Nadhi Mohalla; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
