How much forest has Marka lost?
There was almost no forest around Marka 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 centre, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

The latest reading for Marka shows an AQI of 46 (Good), observed Oct 19, 14:00 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, US EPA index. Air quality is satisfactory for everyone.
How much forest has the area around Marka lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Marka 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.
How is Marka'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 Merca; 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.
