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

Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 135 ha
- Forest in 2020
- 149 ha
- Overall change
- +14 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Madhurampur Dehri grew from about 135 hectares to 149 hectares, a net gain of about 14 hectares (+10%). New forest grew on about 16 hectares, while 2 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 Madhurampur Dehri
What is the air quality (AQI) in Madhurampur Dehri right now?
The latest reading for Madhurampur Dehri shows an AQI of 84 (Moderate), measured Nov 11, 21:30 local time by the Dada Peer, Sasaram - BSPCB ground monitoring station, 19.6 km away, via OpenAQ. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Madhurampur Dehri today?
At AQI 84 (Moderate): fine for most people; unusually sensitive people should take long or hard exercise easier. Windows: fine to open; close them if you are sensitive to pollution. Masks: not needed for most people. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Madhurampur Dehri been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Madhurampur Dehri's daily AQI at 181 on average, from 172 on Nov 9 to an hourly peak of 208 on Nov 5. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Madhurampur Dehri'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 Madhurampur Dehri lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Madhurampur Dehri in 2000, so there has been almost nothing to lose since.

How are Madhurampur Dehri's air quality and tree cover measured?
Air quality is measured by ground monitoring stations near Madhurampur Dehri, 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 Madhurampur Dehri; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
