How much forest has Mubi lost?

There was almost no forest around Mubi 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.

Overall change
−6 haless forest than in 2000

Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Mubi stayed about the same size, at about 1,330 hectares: new forest grew on about 19 hectares, and about 24 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.

At AQI 77 (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 Mubi been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Mubi's daily AQI at 101 on average, from 72 on Nov 9 to an hourly peak of 158 on Nov 5. On 4 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.

How much forest has the area around Mubi lost since 2001?

There was almost no forest around Mubi 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. Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Mubi stayed about the same size, at about 1,330 hectares: new forest grew on about 19 hectares, and about 24 hectares were lost.

What is the tree count in Mubi?

Mubi has an estimated 20,735 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 6.6% tree cover, 23 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Mubi need?

Mubi needs roughly 73,513 more trees to close a 23-point shortfall against its 30% tree-cover target — about 1,617 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Mubi'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 Mubi; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
