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

Frequently asked
Questions about Nagda
What is the air quality (AQI) in Nagda right now?
The latest reading for Nagda shows an AQI of 146 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups), observed Nov 11, 03:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 4 ground-station cities within 105 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Sensitive groups should limit long or intense outdoor activity.
Is it safe to exercise outside in Nagda today?
At AQI 146 (Unhealthy for sensitive groups): children, older adults and people with asthma or heart disease should cut down long or hard exercise. Windows: close them to keep the outside air out. Masks: sensitive groups: an N95 outdoors. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.
What has the air quality in Nagda been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Nagda's daily AQI at 104 on average, from 91 on Nov 9 to an hourly peak of 157 on Nov 6. On 4 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Nagda'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 Nagda lost since 2001?
There was almost no forest around Nagda 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.
What is the tree count in Nagda?
Nagda has an estimated 71,628 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 22.8% tree cover, 12 percentage points short of the 35% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Nagda need?
Nagda needs roughly 38,327 more trees to close a 12-point shortfall against its 35% tree-cover target — about 843.2 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.
How are Nagda'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 Kilkipura Juna; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
