Deforestation · 2001–2025
How much forest has Jūnāgadh lost?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Jūnāgadh has lost about 1 hectare of forest: under 1% of the forest it had in 2000. The biggest cause was wildfires (31%), after which forest can grow back. Almost none of it was deforestation, meaning forest cleared for good.

Causes for 2025 are estimates, based on what caused forest loss in the same places up to 2024.

- +256 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Jūnāgadh grew from about 7,050 hectares to 7,300 hectares, a net gain of about 256 hectares (+3.6%). New forest grew on about 272 hectares, while 17 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.

Frequently asked
Questions about Jūnāgadh
What is the air quality (AQI) in Jūnāgadh right now?
The latest reading for Jūnāgadh shows an AQI of 109 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), observed Nov 10, 19:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 2 ground-station cities within 185 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Jūnāgadh today?
At AQI 109 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups): children, older adults and people with asthma or heart disease should cut down long or hard exercise. Windows: close them to keep the outside air out. Masks: sensitive groups: an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Jūnāgadh been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Jūnāgadh's daily AQI at 80 on average, from 69 on Nov 6 to an hourly peak of 110 on Nov 9. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Jūnāgadh'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 Jūnāgadh lost since 2001?
Since 2001, the area within 10 km of Jūnāgadh has lost about 1 hectare of forest: under 1% of the forest it had in 2000. The biggest cause was wildfires (31%), after which forest can grow back. Almost none of it was deforestation, meaning forest cleared for good. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Jūnāgadh grew from about 7,050 hectares to 7,300 hectares, a net gain of about 256 hectares (+3.6%). New forest grew on about 272 hectares, while 17 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Jūnāgadh?
Jūnāgadh has an estimated 94,497 trees across the 12.52 km² of land measured — 30.2% tree cover, 5 percentage points short of the 35% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Jūnāgadh need?
Jūnāgadh needs roughly 15,019 more trees to close a 5-point shortfall against its 35% tree-cover target — about 330.4 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Jūnāgadh'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 Talav Gate; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
