How much forest has Mormugao lost?
Almost no forest has been lost around Mormugao since 2001: less than 1 hectare of the 267 hectares there in 2000.

Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 3,360 ha
- Forest in 2020
- 3,400 ha
- Overall change
- +38 hamore forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Mormugao stayed about the same size, at about 3,400 hectares: new forest grew on about 82 hectares, and about 43 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.

Questions about Mormugao
What is the air quality (AQI) in Mormugao right now?
The latest reading for Mormugao shows an AQI of 67 (Moderate), observed Nov 11, 15:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 7 ground-station cities within 250 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting long outdoor exertion.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Mormugao today?
At AQI 67 (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 Mormugao been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Mormugao's daily AQI at 86 on average, from 67 on Nov 7 to an hourly peak of 155 on Nov 9. On 2 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Mormugao'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 Mormugao lost since 2001?
Almost no forest has been lost around Mormugao since 2001: less than 1 hectare of the 267 hectares there in 2000. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Mormugao stayed about the same size, at about 3,400 hectares: new forest grew on about 82 hectares, and about 43 hectares were lost.
What is the tree count in Mormugao?
Mormugao has an estimated 68,270 trees across the 8.81 km² of land measured — 31.0% tree cover, already past the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Mormugao need?
Mormugao has already reached its tree-cover target, so no additional trees are needed to close the gap.
How are Mormugao'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 Driver Hill; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
