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

- Overall change
- −74 haless forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Jimeta shrank from about 754 hectares to 680 hectares, a net loss of about 74 hectares (−9.8%). New forest grew on about 8 hectares, but 82 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.

How much forest has the area around Jimeta lost since 2001?

What is the tree count in Jimeta?
Jimeta has an estimated 51,471 trees across the 12.56 km² of land measured — 16.4% tree cover, 14 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Jimeta need?
Jimeta needs roughly 42,683 more trees to close a 14-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 939.0 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Jimeta'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 Jimeta; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
