Questions about Manta

What is the tree count in Manta?

Manta has an estimated 3,851 trees across the 9.06 km² of land measured — 1.7% tree cover, 28 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Manta need?

What is the air quality (AQI) in Manta right now?

The latest reading for Manta shows an AQI of 23 (Good), observed Sep 27, 22:00 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, US EPA index. Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.

How is Manta's tree cover and air quality measured?

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 San Rafael; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover. 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.
